paroles de chanson Since First I Saw Your Face - John Harle

Since first I saw your face I resolv'd
To honour and renown you;
If now I be disdain'd I wish
My heart had never known you.
What I that loved and you that liked,
Shall we begin to wrangle?
No, no, no! my heart is fast
And cannot disentangle.

If I admire or praise you too much
That fault you may forgive me.
Or if my hands had stray'd to touch
Then justly might you leave me.
I ask'd you leave, you bade me love
Is't now a time to chide me?
No, no, no, I'll love you still
What fortune e'er betide me.

If I have wronged you, tell me where-in
And I will soon amend it.
In recompense of such a sin,
Here is my heart, I'll send it.
If that will not your mercy move,
Then for my life I care not.
Then, oh, then, torment me still,
And take my life and spare not.
