Filled with sorrow, pain and strife,
Nothing ever fills my life;
Oh, how the sadness takes hold
With icy arms of bitter cold,
And all I wonder is what I did
And how I'd do anything you bid.

Oh, how could I live,
Oh, what I'd all give,
To always have you by my side,
To always have you in my life;
I promise to be your turtle dove
As long as I'm your life's love.

Then there you are, waiting---
Your body, your face breathtaking;
My heart is only for you,
Beatin' to hear your loving coos;
Oh, what could I ever think
But to always keep our bonding link.

Oh, how could I live,
Oh, what I'd all give,
To always have you by my side,
To always have you in my life;
I promise to be your turtle dove
As long as your my turtle dove.

Our lips meet in such an embrace
As we smile face-to-face;
No longer am I dying in strife---
But flourishing--- with you in my life.

Oh, how could I live,
Oh, what I'd all give,
To always have you by my side,
To always have you in my life;
I promise to be your turtle dove
As long as I'm your life's love.

As long as I'm your life's love. . .
