I have been loving you in secret
I see you more than I show
I cannot get you out of my mind
I burn for you, though no one knows

You have said that you love me
I know this to be true
But you are too young and innocent
I cannot trust myself with you

I have made myself a promise
To God, I made a vow
To keep myself pure for marriage
So I can’t be with you now

You tempt me beyond my convictions
My heart, I fear will bust
You’ve penetrated my very being
Dear God, deliver me from this lust

I long to know you better
As a husband knows his wife
But first we should marry
And make this for life

I can wait for you my darling
In your absence and my despair
Will you wait for me dear lover
For your age to meet us here
