What is Love?

If love is a mystery
who should I choose
to help me unravel all the clues?
to have and to hold me
till death do us part
and love me mysteriously
with all their heart

If love is a journey
what should I pack
as I take to the road or the railway track?
something borrowed,
something blue
some for me and some for you

If love is a party
who to invite
to wine and dine and dance all night?
to watch the magical moonlight wane
and toast the dawn with pink champagne

If love is a compass
who’ll be my north
to point my way from this day forth?
to steer me, guide me
keep me straight
that I might find my true estate

If love is a challenge
I must decide
who’ll be standing by my side
my rock of ages
cleft for me
down through all eternity

My love is here
it’s time to go
and now instinctively I know
to pack all the sweetness
that I can find
and leave my selfishness behind

For love is a lifetime
love is a flame
love is when both of us
feel the same

If love is eternal
and love is true
then now and forever
I choose you
