Song of Songs 4

He

1 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon,
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
with choice fruits,
with henna and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh and aloes
and all the finest spices.
15 You are[b] a garden fountain,
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.

She
16 Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.

lyrics

Time Moves So Slowly When You Want Something So Bad
Feels Like I’ve Waited My Whole Life Just To Hold You
Love Was Just An Illusion That Evaded Me Superstition
With No Reason, You Breathed Your Life And Brought Me To My Knees

You’re So Beautiful Tonight Standing In Front Of Me Held In This Light
You’re So Beautiful Tonight As Beautiful As The First Day I Met You

I’m Starting To See More Clearly How A King Would Trade It All For Love And Put A Thousand Ships To Flight
With You Sigh, They’d Wage It All To Stare Into

Your Eyes You’re So Beautiful Tonight Standing In Front Of Me Held In This Light You’re So Beautiful Tonight As Beautiful As The First Day I Met You

So End It All For Me, End It All For Me Those Years Of Lonely Wandering The Pain That Won’t Release Me It Will Release Me
