To My Dear & Loving Husband

Song To My Dear & Loving Husband
Artist Michael Hoppé
Album How Do I Love Thee

Lyrics

[00:06.31] If ever two were one, then surely we.
[00:11.55] If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
[00:16.46] If ever wife was happy in a man,
[00:19.49] Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
[00:23.86] I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
[00:28.46] Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
[00:33.10] My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
[00:36.54] Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
[00:41.74] Thy love is such I can no way repay;
[00:45.72] The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
[00:50.07] Then while we live, in love let’s so persever,
[00:55.72] That when we live no more, we may live ever.
[01:00.12]
