Darkness has ruled my entire life.
I've lived in this world with nothing but strife.
Then you came along.
Your love was very strong
You brought the life into my life
I looked at you and you looked at me
I realized that now I could see
We should love forever
Spend each day together
You have brightened up my life.
You know I couldn't leave you girl,
couldn't leave you if I tried.
Please don't leave me girl,
it would hurt my pride
And now the time has come for us to say
"We will be together forever and a day."
We shall never part,
We've vowed that in our hearts
The light of love has entered our lives.
Commentary Written October, 1971. Written about the time I had my first girlfriend, but not sure if it was even about her.
