Before you, I was nothing.

An empty casket,

A tree with no fruit.

I lived but had no life,

I smiled but had no happiness.

Awaiting my fate was all I had ahead.

 

But you, Oh! You darling,

You made me new again.

Your twinkling eyes,

Your smooth soft hands,

Were something I longed to see.

 

I would break my bones to heal your pain.

I would cross the horizon to find you.

I would sell my dreams to pay for yours.

And do anything in my power for you.

 

Darling, Oh! Sweet darling,

The casket is empty so I can be with you,

The tree is bare because I picked it all to give to you.

I live not because I have to but because I want a life with you.

I smile but it goes deep to my heart because you make me happiest.

Now, I don’t care what fate has to bring as long as you are there.

Before you I was nothing,

With you I am something.
