Now that I have known love as sweet as yours
Now that I have known love as sweet as yours
Love so very deep and complete as yours
Love so very deep and complete as yours
Hunger for your lips, pains of jealousy
Hunger for your lips, pains of jealousy
After loving you, what is left for me
After loving you, what is left for me
Head and heart and soul, overpowered by love
Head and heart and soul, overpowered by love
I'd forget that there was a God above
I'd forget that there was a God above
Tortured by the things that I couldn't see
Tortured by the things that I couldn't see
After loving you, what is left for me
After loving you, what is left for me
Leave me and my voice would become so still
Leave me and my voice would become so still
And my touch would be winter's icy chill
And my touch would be winter's icy chill
Leave me and my eyes would be full of rain
Leave me and my eyes would be full of rain
And the need of you surging through and through
And the need of you surging through and through
Would drive me insane
Would drive me insane
Loving you so much that it tears my heart
Loving you so much that it tears my heart
That would hurt me less than to be apart
That would hurt me less than to be apart
So it will remain till eternity
So it will remain till eternity
There's no other world that is worth passing through
There's no other world that is worth passing through
After holding you
After holding you
After kissing you
After kissing you
After loving you
After loving you
