Obsession it takes control, 
Obsession it eats me whole. 
I can't say the words out loud, 
So in a rhyme I wrote you down. 
Now you'll live through the ages, 
I can feel your pulse in the pages. 

I have written you down 
Now you will live forever 
And all the world will read you 
And you will live forever 
In eyes not yet created 
On tongues that are not born 
I have written you down 
Now you will live forever 

Your body lies upon the sheet, 
Of paper and words so sweet. 
I can't say the words, 
so I wrote you into my verse. 
Now you'll live through the ages, 
I can feel your pulse in the pages. 

I have written you down 
Now you will live forever 
And all the world will read you, 
And you will live forever 
In eyes not yet created 
On tongues that are not born 
I have written you down 
Now you will live forever 

I have read her with these eyes, 
I've read her with these eyes, 
I have held her in these hands. 

I have written you down, 
Now you will live forever. 
The virtues in the verse, 
And you will live forever. 

I have written you down 
Now you will live forever 
And all the world will read you 
And you will live forever 
In eyes not yet created 
On tongues that are not born 
I have written you down 
Now you will live forever
