<br />
My love for you grows stronger still,<br />
Despite the surrounding cold<br />
My heart is yours, bartered gone<br />
For yours has it been sold<br />
<br />
Its petals shine from morning dew<br />
Its stem grows stiff and strong<br />
It stands strong through the freezing cold<br />
It stands the winter long<br />
<br />
I long for you, for your soft touch<br />
I miss the way you smile<br />
The longer that we stay apart<br />
The longer every mile<br />
<br />
The flower stretches through the snow<br />
It reaches toward the sun<br />
And now without you the color is gone<br />
The flower’s petals, dun<br />
<br />
But as we talk, and as we learn<br />
The flower comes back to life<br />
The snow now melts and goes away<br />
As you take away my strife<br />
<br />
I see the future, in dreams I have<br />
Of our life, long and true<br />
I see the times where all I need<br />
Are comforting words from you<br />
<br />
I see the times when winter comes<br />
As winter tends to do<br />
But we still love, and we still live<br />
And I do still love you<br />
<br />
And so we live, with children ours<br />
And a life of much to see<br />
With love we live, to live we love<br />
Happy together are we<br />
