"Daughter of privlage, who owns your heart?"
I wondered when I first saw you that day.
My heart became yours when you looked my way.
Hair of red and gold
Chin so noble and so bold.
So many words that I thought I could say
But the only thing that came to mind before you went away
"Daughter of privlage, who owns your heart?"

"Daughter of privlage, what secrets cloud your mind?"
I wondered when you came running onto the deck.
Running from the future of the past, I had to check.
Standing on the rail
I had to save you, I could not fail.
You climbed back into my arms a nervous wreck
And again I wondered as your arms went round my neck
"Daughter of privlage, what secrets cloud your mind?"

"Daughter of privlage, who holds your body?"
I wondered when we took our very first walk.
Here on the first-class deck we chated and talked.
I showed you my art book
You opened it and took a look
The drawings of some of my subjects made you balk
As we stood there together, my lips would not talk.
"Daughter of privlage, who holds your body?"

"Daughter of pirvlage, who owns your soul?"
I wondered as our bodies joined together.
Your touch like silk, your skin soft as a feather.
Your beautiful eyes of blue
Reflecting the love I feel for you.
The smell of your hair like a field of heather,
Made me wonder as we sailed into stormy weather
"Daughter of privlage, who owns your soul?"

"Daughter of privlage, you are my heart."
I said as the ship sank into the sea.
"Daughter of privlage, I fill your mind."
I said as the people screamed about me.
"Daughter of privlage, I hold your body."
I said as from the terror we tried to flee.
"Jack, we share our souls. . . "
You said as I disappeared from thee.

"Daughter of privlage, take my name
And may your life never be the same.
The heart of the ocean beats within our chests.
Of all the loves that shine, true love shines best.
Go now and make a new life.
To one that loves you, pledge yourself as wife.
Our memory will live forever, our love will be the bond.
And with each new day that dawns, our hearts will go on.

My God Sven this is so beautiful.  One to print for sure.  I wonder if Jack had a poet's heart?  Beautiful.  Thanks for this, as you know I am as bigger Titanic fan as yourself.  

 Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.
