i carry your heart with me


i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

  1. My true-love hath my heart, and I have his,
    By just exchange, one for another given.
    I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;
    There never was a better bargain driven--
    My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.

    His heart in me keeps him and me in one;
    My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides.
    He loves my heart, for once it was his own;
    I cherish his, because in me it bides:
    My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.
