My Love

My love lives over the Dales
Where the wind in winter forever wails
My love lives with her Siamese cat
His lithe, strong body asleep on her lap

My love and I will wed in the spring
On her little hand I will place a ring
The Medieval church built of solid stone
Amidst cowslip and heather stands all alone

Friends and relations will travel far and wide
So proud I shall feel to stand by her side
Birds will be singing, daffodils in bloom
For my love and I, it can't come too soon

My love will be wearing, satin and lace
And to think of my love makes my heart race
We'll stand together, for now and all time
With the priest's blessing, my love will be mine
