What a Mystery You Are to Me


What a mystery you are to me
What a wonder to behold
What a dream I had that you were mine
In a land so long ago

When a knight rode in on fiery steed
When a faerie came to see
When a love grew up from a tiny seed
In two hearts where dreams were free

Where the knight was deft with his two-edged sword
Where the faerie sang a spell
Where such noble deeds were told of them
In all villages and dells

Why a knight so sworn to gallantry
Why a faerie queen so fair
Why a pair whose bond would seal their fates
In a moment's mission dared

How a knight did say to his lady love
How a faerie was betrothed
How a promise given then is now
In a mystery so told

Who can say what is to a soul so old
Who can know when faeries die
Who can fathom such a mystery
In our hearts where love abides
