May It Always Be

I've been with you for a fairly long time
May I call you, may I call you, may I call you mine?
And you, unknown, have been with me
May it always, may it always, may it always be

Please don't leave my side, remember I love you
None of what I have done wrong was really done against you
If you love me, and I'm weak, then weaker you must love me more
To re-enforce what's also strong and all the love we have in store

By example you show me that living's alright
Stay here with me, stay here with me, stay with me tonight
And come with me when I go into the bedroom
And we'll play bride, and we'll play bride, and we'll play bride and groom

If you had not been born you know
What would I, what would I be then?
I would not have had strength to grow
And be counted, and be counted among men

Please don't leave my side, remember I love you
None of what I have done wrong was really done against you
If you love me, and I'm weak, then weaker you must love me more
To re-enforce what's also strong and all the love we have in store

In the morning we'll wrestle and ruin our stomachs with coffee
Won't we be, won't we be, won't be happy
And we will rise in anger, love and ardour
Shining, shining, shimmering in love's armour
