| I’ll swim and sail on savage seas
|
| With ne’er a fear of drowning
|
| And gladly ride the waves of life
|
| If you would marry me
|
| No scorching sun nor freezing cold
|
| Will stop me on my journey
|
| If you will promise me your heart
|
| And love me for eternity
|
| My dearest one, my darling dear
|
| Your mighty words astound me
|
| But I’ve no need for mighty deeds
|
| When I feel your arms around me
|
| But I would bring you rings of gold
|
| I’d even sing you poetry
|
| And I would keep you from all harm
|
| If you would stay beside me
|
| I have no use for rings of gold
|
| I care not for your poetry
|
| I only want your hand to hold
|
| I only want you near me
|
| To love, to kiss, to sweetly hold
|
| For the dancing and the dreaming
|
| Through all life’s sorrows and delights
|
| I’ll keep your love beside me
|
| I’ll swim and sail on savage seas
|
| With ne’er a fear of drowning
|
| And gladly ride the waves of life
|
| If you will marry me
|
| If you will marry me |
