Trifles I & II I The days of our love are here And again they are gone And now these strange songs beckon to me A melody of hope and passion, All for my dear friend, Kelly. My friend, my dear: For thy love, my heart, our love. Fair and warm is your caress. Amorous and passionate, thy embrace. Forever shall I treasure your kiss And thy visage as my queen. To thy fine hair and beauty my dear, My love to thee forever. II O how I have pondered Of how to love you from afar. And it is this sadness That is my greatest sorrow. Yet alas, I can do nothing, But dream, wish and pray - Forward 'til the 'morrow. There seems only this one thought That I can give you From so very far away. That is if you may someday still want me, Please remember my princess That truly I do love you And will return home again someday. -------------------------------------------------------- / / /__,_ _ o ____ /_ __. __ /_) (_
