Just like the songbird Deep in the forest I sing praises But you never hear Deep in my body My song is silent Yet content at Times when you're near Please listen to me And I will tell thee All those words That have never been said They shout inside me But then they cower Behind weakness That's ruling my head I never a loved thee And not one other Will know sweetness That lies in my breast 'Tis you that made me But God forbade me To uncover my Heart to love's test No love is sorrow But now I'm happy To have thee in This world for my love And now you must know My soul is for thee That's why this life Is my soaring dove
