the witch

SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SOFTLY, SOFTLY
THE HAND REACHES FOR ME,
IT SQUEEZES MY HEART EVER SO GENTLY.
LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
FOREVER OUT OF SIGHT,
IT COMES INTO MY HEART.

Slowly, slowly, softly, softly
It then begins to whisper,
Songs of love and forever.
It showed me your beauty
And the wonderful things you do.
It showed the beauty in your faults
And how they made you you.

Slowly, slowly, softly, softly
It cast a spell on me,
Or I wouldn’t love you so deeply.
For you my heart aches,
And a sight of you I constantly crave.
Lonely am I even in a crowd,
And blind am I even in the light
for my eyes are covered with a shroud.

Slowly, slowly, softly, softly
It fills me up with love,
Such that my heart sings
At just the sight of you.

I rue the day that it came my way
with cold hands that grip my heart .
with voice as soft has dew
That Sings to me songs of you.

For it has brought me empty nights
Thinking of you while lying on my side
It has made me incomplete without you
It has placed my happiness in your very hands
It has given me answers when I asked no question
It has found for me what I did not seek.
Thou I might regret, I wouldn’t want it different
For it also brought with it
This exquisite joy I get from loving you.
