Never to Love

Dear God, let me be hidden from her sight
Help me to ease my aching heart tonight
My love for her, too much to bear
It seems that she is everywhere, she is everywhere
Though in the empty sky
In every breath and every sigh
But to be blind, never to see
Her face again
I hear her voice and I am cursed
I catch her eye, the heavens burst
My joyful heart, forever yearning
In sweet despair
For she is everywhere, everywhere
Bright as gold, like sun
She greets the dawn and I am lost
For she is his, not mine to have
Never to hold, never to know
That I am hers, never to love
A trace of her escapes me still
But stirs my heart and always will
How do I live upon the earth like this
Destined to burn and always long for her
Reach for her, wanting more than clearly I deserve?
