I have held you in my arms,
And felt the warm, smooth
Sensations of your delicate
Softness at my fingertips.
Often have I smiled, simply
Because you have smiled
So prettily and lovingly.
I have kissed your tender lips,
And tasted the sweetness
Of your kind affection.
I have walked upon
A pillowy cloud of joy,
For you have shown me love
And lifted all my hopes
From the doom of despair.
My dreams have all come true,
For since I have known you,
I have known love.
