The years pass by uncounted
but the minutes I know by name
each second since I’ve loved you
no measurement is the same

The time it took to make a star
means naught to me you see
for in that star I see the love
that I wish you had for me

The jungle beasts may be subdued
but my heart will not be tamed
I’ll not hold back a nanosecond
though to say this, I’m ashamed

My love took not a moment
to find a home in my heart
I know not when it will end
nor am I sure when it did start

In the clock held in my heart
time is measured not in space
but measured in the times I’m held
within your loving embrace
