Come into these arms again And lay your body down The rhythm of this trembling heart Is beating like a drum It beats for you, it bleeds for you It know not how it sound For it is the drum of drums It is the song of songs Once I had rarest rose That ever deigned to bloom Cruel winter chilled the bud And stole my flower too soon Oh loneliness, oh hopelessness To search the ends of time For there is in all the world No greater love than mine Love, oh love, oh love Still falls the rain (still falls the rain) Love, oh love, oh, love Still falls the night Love, oh love, oh love Be mine forever (be mine forever) Love, oh love, oh love Let me be the only one To keep you from the cold Now the floor of heaven's lain With stars of brightest gold They shine for you, they shine for you They burn for all to see Come into these arms again And set this spirit free
