Never to Love - Mark Seibert

Dear God, let me be hidden from her sight

Help me to ease my aching heart tonight

My love for her, too much to bear

It seems that she is everywhere, she is everywhere

Though in the empty sky

In every breath and every sigh

But to be blind, never to see

Her face again

I hear her voice and I am cursed

I catch her eye, the heavens burst

My joyful heart, forever yearning

In sweet despair

For she is everywhere, everywhere

Bright as gold, like sun

She greets the dawn and I am lost

For she is his, not mine to have

Never to hold, never to know

That I am hers, never to love

A trace of her escapes me still

But stirs my heart and always will

How do I live upon the earth like this

Destined to burn and always long for her

Reach for her, wanting more than clearly I deserve?

For she is his, not mine to have

Never to hold, not mine to touch

Never to know that I am hers

Never to love

For she is everywhere, everywhere

Bright as gold, like sun

She greets the dawn and I am lost

For she is his, not mine to have

Never to hold, not mine to touch

Never to know that I am hers

Never to love

Never to love
