I carry your heart with me

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go, my dear, and everything is being done
only for me is your doing, my love)

I'm afraid
not fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and they are what a moon has always meant
and all that the sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and sky of the sky of a tree called life which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that is keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
