For You, My Love

My love, you have come to the lakeshore, looking neither for wealthy or wise. 

You only asked me, to walk beside you.

Oh love, with your heart you have searched me, and while smiling, have spoken my name.   Now my boat's left, on the shoreline behind me.  By your side, I will seek other seas.

You, know so well my possessions,  my boat carries no silver or gold. You'll only find there, my love and passionOh love, with your soul you have filled me, always willing and there at my call.  You've giv'n me, a life full of meaning.  By your side, I will seek other seas.

You, with a heart full of caring, through your labors, you give others peace.  Your constant love, is always with me.  My love, you have walked many shorelines, and your footprint s have healed many hearts.  So forever, I will always be near you.  By your side, I will seek other seas.
