It was you...'Twas always you
Who shaped my vision splendid
And took my very breath away
By beauty... never ended.
If Helena launched a thousand ships
And ruled a dynasty
Then a thousand times I've kissed your lips
And tasted ecstasy.
It was you...'Twas always you
With your love so pure...and yet
'Twas a love not meant to last
Our sun at last had set.
I lived awhile and loved awhile
In a world that gave me you
My loss shall not diminish
The love that once we knew.
