If these delights thy mind may move

With coral clasps and amber studs;
Come live with me and be my love
There I will make you beds of roses
With a thousand fragrant posies
And if these pleasures may thee move
Then live with me, and be my love
Come live with me and be my love
Come Live With Me and Be My Love was written by Christopher Marlowe & Trevor Jones.
