For the Dancing and the Dreaming

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 would 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 of 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 inside 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 would marry me
