Here in my heart

Memories flood my veins,

Memories of youth and you

Yours are stronger than ever

You painted my thoughts with sunshine

These dark clouds are no more.

Here in my arms

You fit like a puzzle,

If I lived to be a thousand years

I’d spend them loving you

From the heavens, you came

From mother Africa, you sprouted

I long to be yours

Yours to have

Yours to hold

Yours to capture.

Here in this world

I’m but a pilgrim,

A pilgrim whose journey is yours

My dearest love, would you come with me

I may not be born into royalty

I may not be drenched in wealth

But my heart is drenched in you

Every chamber, every vein

All my desires are you

All my focus is on you

Here in my soul

You become addictive

And addiction, I’ll never stop wanting

So here in these voices

You speak the loudest

I love you so much

In all I do, I’ll cherish you.
