I love you and I always will
 

Perchance you misjudge my intentions

Give me leave to explain straight away

Your love I'll protect till my last dyeing breath

You'll find it writ large on my grave

Fetch me Merlin's gold chalice of truth

There's no test that I'd shrink from or lose

If my heart's to be tried let the chalice decide

Turning water to wine as a proof

A toast it would seem is in order

See the chalice is full to the brim

You'll always delight me I don't say it lightly

I love you and I always will
