Before I Die (Your name is a secret…)

Your heart is a secret, desire of a soul
Your name unveiled before the world
Unwritten rhyme, my treasure untold

A memory dear, a hope so unreal
Dwelling still in me far beyond the sea
Waves of the ocean quiver deep in a dream

The wish, the desire are lost in all sleepless nights
White tides of sea quivering still in your ocean-deep eyes

Left no tear within every hope
No memory to awaken a dream
Caroling songs in every home
All starfall nights lost in a childheart’s wish

On the shore it was born
There it must die
All that moment forlorn
Beneath the wings of sunrise

The wish, the desire are lost in all sleepless nights
White tides of sea quivering still in your ocean-deep eyes

Before I die let me know
If this desire was worth a soul?
If song playing still in the cold was enough
To revive a deep dream of a child’s pure heart?

Before I go let me know
If it wasn’t in vain
If it was worth the world
A fallen piece of dark art
A dream still frozen deep in your heart

Last memory of you I send through the sky
To dream forever of your pure innocent heart
The wish, the desire are lost in all sleepless nights
White tides of sea quivering still in your ocean-deep eyes

Before I die
Just let me know
If this part was worth a try
If the heart could beat alive
If a dream could save a soul
I will always feel for
