Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, once upon a time,
Love filled our home and tenderness warms us
Then time came knocking, It stole our joy, our comfort, and our peace.
My beloved was here, filling my world with love and bliss.
My beloved, oh my soul, dearest to my eyes, Have you forgotten who I am?
I am the love you once had, the love you quickly forgot before its time.
You even forgot my name. Oh, how astounding is the betrayal of humankind!
Oh, how long it's been, my love, how long it's been.
Oh, how long it's been, my love, how long it's been.
My Beloved
I came into this world, only to love you,
Only for my life to melt away early, wounded by your betrayal.
Candle by candle, I’ll burn myself away,
So you may live in joy.
My beloved, I give myself to you,
I give my heart that loved you.
I’ll tread over my pain, over my tears, and sing,
And not a single tear will fall on your cheek tonight.
And oh!
Oh, the burning ache of longing that could melt stone.
Oh, the heart that carried love, now destroyed.
Oh, a lover consumed by their passion with no hope.
Oh, I cry to God, not to people.
Sweet and Bitter
You are honey and bitterness.
You are loyalty and betrayal.
You are the love of a lifetime.
You are a lie,
But the sweetest lie fate has ever sent my way.
You are tenderness, so gentle,
But longing, tears, and a sea of sorrow lie within.
My Beloved Was Here
My beloved was here,
Filling my world with love and bliss.
My beloved, oh my soul, dearest to my eyes,
Have you forgotten who I am?
I am the love we once had,
The love you quickly forgot before its time.
You even forgot my name.
Oh, how astounding is the betrayal of humankind!
Oh, how long it's been, my love, how long it's been.
Oh, how long it's been, my love, how long it's been.
Long Ago
Long ago, you came back,
After years of absence, calling out to my heart.
I responded, my beloved returned,
Longing for his love once again,
For my love, for my tenderness—
If only I hadn’t responded.
Long ago, we had a home,
And kind friends who would cry when I cried.
They’d worry about you, my dear, and about me through the nights,
From a whisper, from a word,
And they’d melt away when I sang.
My Beloved Was Here
My beloved was here,
Filling my world with love and bliss.
My beloved, oh my soul, dearest to my eyes,
Have you forgotten who I am?
I am the love we once had,
The love you quickly forgot before its time.
You even forgot my name.
Oh, how astounding is the betrayal of humankind!
Oh, how long it's been, my love, how long it's been.
Oh, how long it's been, my love, how long it's been.
