If You Would Know



If you would know my heart
see what makes me cry
if we should drift apart
something within will die

If you would know my mind
don’t count on what I say
my thoughts must be divined
from how I act each day

If you would know my soul
how high my spirit rides
when life exacts its toll
see how my strength abides

If you would know my love
how deep how free how true
know there is none above
the love I have for you

Heart mind soul love are one
within this fragile frame
in sinew blood and bone
passion is its name

My heart is good and true
my love is strong and sure
my mind sees all things new
my soul seeks beauty pure

But passion simply dies
before the truth of lies
