'I love you once, I love you twice, br More than beans and rice.' br I love you now, I'll love you later, br More than wine and water. br I love your eyes, I love your hair, br More than the light and air. br Your shadow I love, I love your trace, br And love I do your smiling face. br I love you far, I love you near, br You are my life's sole souvenir. br In peace, in love, as much in war, br Is what the shield of my love is for. br I love you sick, I love you well, br More than vows and rings tell. br I love you true, I love you real, br Deeper than the urges we feel.
