A thousand days, a thousand nights
Are but a second in our sight
When we enlist the powers that be
To explain to us eternity

Of all the thoughts so very profound
There's none so elusive I have found
None so hard to explain for sure
None that stays with us forever more

Come spend eternity with me please do
To make me better understand full well
The impact that you have on me
And why I want my eternity with you to dwell

Oh come unto my arms please do
And bring with you all your charms galore
That I may feast on your sweet face
And hold them in mind forever more
