I have written this song   For you to take with you   When you go away   Something to sing and slowly swing to   On your colder days   I have made a start   With a verse and a chorus   The rest I leave to you   And when next I see your smiling face   We might sing it right through      Chorus      I'll be your sweetheart always   And I'll love the memories of the diamond days   I'll keep a candle burning   'till we sing again the diamond days      If the words don't rhyme   Then I will forgive you   That won't be the crime   But the staring space   Upon the page   That might look like mine   I have made a start   With a verse and a chorus   The rest I'll leave to you   And when next I see your smiling face   We might sing it right through      Chorus
