Without my will and much against my heart
Now from you I have to go far apart
Far from the shade of impending fate
The cry of vengeance or curse of hate
For the joy of you I don’t want to sleep
It melts my heart and makes me weep
You are the gift that graces all I do
The lilt, the laugh, the smile, the savor new
Now I think of the places where we used to play
You are the star that lightened my lonely way
Soon, soon, my darling, I’ll be gone away from you
You won’t be able to see me again even if you want to
I have to go and I cannot stay
The place where I have to go is far away
Through the strange realms and unfamiliar skies
To the land unspeakable beyond sunrise
Where ranges forth the spirit far and free
Tends her far course to lands of mystery
When I go always keep courage on your face
Cause I’ll be fine, sure heavens is a lovely place
Our love is not over, it remains
Its beauty is inseparable from pains
Reserved for me is a place where you may not go
A moment with my music sweet and slow
My eyes are sightless and my lips have turned cold
I don’t want to die young, with you I want to grow old
Our love shall not tear my miles and not by choice
I shall always crave for your sweet voice
Ere the eternal sleep comes to my weary eyes
Take me in your arms as your dear lover dies
Hold me to your willing heart and please don’t weep
I want to see your smiling face before I sleep
Kiss me with passionate breath
Before I meet the inevitable death
