I want to die while you love me,
while yet you hold me fair,
while laughter lies upon my lips
and lights are in my hair.
I want to die while you love me,
I could not bear to see,
The glory of this perfect day,
Grow dim-or cease to be.
I want to die while you love me,
Oh! who would care to live?
Till love has nothing more to ask,
And nothing more to give.
I want to die while you love me,
And bear to that still bed ,
Your kisses turbulent,unspent,
To warn me when i’m dead.
TEDDY TUESDAY (1990)
