What I've Missed

Her hair is as a dragon's fury,
Revenging on its foes.
Her eyes are continually burning,
Melting hearts of cold.
This is my love, my life, my all.
My one and only desire.
This is what I've missed...so long.
My love burns as a fire.

She walks in the mists of night
As the moon smiles down in praise.
And the animals behold the lovely sight,
Transformed by her gaze.
My love, my life. This is my all.
My ceaseless desire.
Look at what I've missed...so long.
My love burns as a fire.

And the bird's rest in tranquility
To listen to her voice.
Music that is born of words,
The weapons of her choice.
This is my love, my life, my all.
My one and only desire.
This is what I've missed...so long.
My love burns as a fire.

God! So this is what I've missed,
These long and lonely years.
Yes God, I am truly blessed!
Whenever she is near.
She is my love, my life,
My everlasting desire.
For her only my love goes on and on.
My love burns as a fire.
