Testo Love me!

Love me for the day of days

When your eyes first saw me

In the happy morning time

With the world before thee.


Love me for the golden dream,

Not for mortal living,

For the little word that grieved,

And the sweet forgiving.



Love me for the empty room

that I leave behind me,
Love me for the face that's gone

And the tears that blind thee.



Love me for the years we knew,

The sadness and the laughter;

Love me with the broken heart

And the silence after.
