With you by my side

In the dark, cold path; in the long, lonely night
Silent and slow, the birds could but sigh
The moon so pale, her visage so sad
I felt a great warmth; I heard the birds sing

The moon shone in splendour, queen of the skies
And like a shadow, loneliness fled
Pondering in my mind, what brings this great beauty
I turned and looked, and lo, it was you!

With you by my side, the dark night looks bright
With you by my side, mountains seem mere mounds
With you by my side, I can live my dream
The sun will always shine with you by my side

I can climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest ocean
Endure the widest valley, because you're by my side
King of all I survey, joy will be my share of pain
I could face a thousand men with you by my side.
