For Her
For those beautiful deep Moorish eyes
have stolen my heart.
My desert saint, I've loved you since
before I knew you.
For this child of Elissa I have
boundless love to share.
Yes, my angel, I close my eyes and we
are together,
But my heart aches across the distance
between us.
The world is a wide chasm that holds us
a part.
And those deep beautiful Moorish eyes
are oceans,
For I will sail them, across you
memories as I drift,
Waiting for the wind to carry me into
your heart.
Yes my cherub, I will always cherish
you,
Our love is the immortality the very
gods covet.
Your love is ruby of immeasurable
value.
Because those deep beautiful Moorish
eyes have enslaved me,
You corsair of times passed, I'm your
prisoner,
Ask me the question and I will be you
renegado
Yes my saint, I will abandon all for
you.
You are my new faith, my new sword, my
revolt.
And my heart feels new when it thinks
of you.
When I think of those deep beautiful
Moorish eyes,
I lose myself in dreams of Carthage,
and love everlasting,
Ever your slave, I am your Aeneas....
