Because
I care for you more deeply
Than one heart can conceive
This feeling of affinity
Seems like make-believe
My heart has found surrender
My life a new emprise
In beaming stars of fireflies
Dancing in your eyes
Now love lights upon my heart
Flitters like a butterfly
I’m asking you to be my wife
And smiling in reply
You say, “yes!”
