For My Love
By Kathleen Dunbar
Copyrighted by Kathleen Dunbar
*The “old poet” quoted is Robert Burns, from his poem A Red, Red Rose
“So fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear, while the sands o’ life shall run.”

Verse
I spent many years lonely until I found you,
you were always the one although you never knew,
‘til you spoke my name and the waiting was through,
and you took my hand.

Time is a thief, he steals us away
but he also brings you and your smile every day.
Of everything given ain’t nothing will stay,
so let’s play, let’s love while we can.

Chorus
Is it dark in the end or will it be light?
Will the brightness of stars or the velvet of night
welcome our hearts when our eyes lose their sight?
Let love bring us home.

Verse
We know we’ll get old, we’ve already begun.
You can see in our faces the things we have done—
the laughing and sorrow, kindness and fun—
I’d miss none of it, my sweet love.

There’s so many things we want to do.
One day we’ll say honey, the time it sure flew.
We’re so wise and so funny and we don’t have a clue,
except about love.

Chorus

Bridge
I’ll hold your hand till the holding is done.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I’ll give you a kiss like we’ve just begun.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

I will love you
like the *old poet says:
“While the sands of life run,
till the seas all go dry
the rocks melt with the sun
I will love you still.”

Verse
My heart only gets richer though my bones they grow old.
You fill my life with the beauty it holds.
You’re the finest my love, finer than gold.
Have I told you today that you’re grand?

The shiniest things they all go to rust.
They’ll lay us in earth and our bones go to dust.
When the end comes as we know that it must
I’ll trust you and I’ll hold your hand.

Bridge

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
