When I return
Patrick Cardy
When I return
from seeing my lady,
upon my soul,
I haven't a care in the world.
Dear God, how I love her,
with a pure and faithful love.
The memory of her gentle beauty
makes me glow,
night and day,
with the flame of love.
Dear God, how I love her,
with a pure and faithful love.
The very thought of her sweet perfection
so melts my tender heart
that my one wish is to serve her
constantly and selflessly.
Dear God, how I love her,
with a pure and faithful love.
