I passed the greater passage of my time alone
Sometimes I stood against the world and I felt fine
At other times, a peaceful solitude I’ve known
But all I was and all I did was only mine
Now my life is our life! You are with me! We two!
Your presence dances in my work, effort, ambition
New purpose that I never knew devolves from you
All for you, for us, is now my inspiration
With you my life is blessed
With you is happiness
With you I want the best
With you the whole world shouts, “YES!”
Now my world, my universe, is doubly joyous
Now I am we
And joy or grief for me is joy or grief for us
Solo so long, we two is all I ever want to be
