More Than Life Itself

I love my sweet so-and-so more than life itself
is something the poets have said
You may have seen it a time or two
in some of the poems you've read

There are people whose hearts have hardened so much
that they cannot agree with the poet
Though they once may have had an ounce of romance
they are far too cynical to show it

But the fortunate few who have found the true love
for whom they would helplessly fall
Will tell you that life without the love of your life
is not worth living at all
