Here

Verse 1

Never in the world have I been

So enamored

With anybody

For your spirit, your soul, your very

Creation

You’ve given so much

Of yourself

To me so freely

I am humbled by your tenderness

Your goodness

You’re everything to me

 

Oh, Mariposa

 

Chorus

What was it that led you to me

In my hour of need

Was it a God, was it an angel

Was it a force beyond us both indeed?

All I know is that you’re here with me

And for all you are

I dedicate by being to you

My heart, my soul, near or far

You shower me with kindness

Affection and with love

And in return I offer you

My never dying love

 

Verse 2

Oh Mariposa, I have found in you

A soul like mine

Fiery, eternal,

So generous and tender and kind

A love

That will span generations both

In space and even time

Time to love, time to laugh

Time to heal

You’re everything to me

 

Oh Mariposa

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Refrain

I’ll always

Love you

My sweet dragon

Mi mariposa

Angelita

I’m here for you

You’re here for me

 

Repeat Chorus

 He said, "Why should I tarry?"

And smiled with tranquil eye;

"In destinies sad or merry,

True men can but try."
