Life and Love

If you ever give your heart to me,
I'd keep it in a box.
And take my heart out too,
and keep it under lock.
So though sight may fail and body fade,
and times today may pass away.
Our beating hearts may together chime,
ticking down the sands of time.
In this precious space may ever hold,
the greatest story of love untold.
And when time itself may come to rest,
and life itself is second best,
then destiny and fate may close entwine,
and your precious love be ever mine.
