lyrics

Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.

Well, I roved out one morning and in full-dress garb I went
A-southward in Ohio for an SCA event
I waited at the roadside, intent to share a ride
My roommate Neil arranged it for us after my car died.
Up comes a blue Maverick and what there should I see,
A lovely Spanish lady offering a ride to me.

Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.

We traveled and we chatted and we smiled and we shared
The things we both loved coincided the more that we compared
So when we got to that event I knew I'd found a friend,
And as she walked away I knew I couldn't let this end.
A few weeks later I revealed what was in my heart,
And since that day the two of us have never been apart.

Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.

And so, for twenty years now, our paths have been the same,
Since I knelt before the roses and asked you to share my name,
Our Monica and Gwyneth, our friends and family,
Our songs and dreams and fantasies are everything to me.
And, so my darling Barbara, I promise that it's true,
that everything good in my life is there because of you.

Come be my love forever, and live our lives combined,
Like roses on the trellis, all our fantasies entwined.

The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales
by Alexander James Adams

supported by 8 fans who also own “Come Be My Love Forever”

Alexander James Adams "The Blue Rose Rare and Other Faerie Tales" is an excellent album. With songs retelling a variety of myths and faerie tales, each song is both very fun to listen to, fits well together as an album, and is distinct from the rest of the album. Brownie Dan especially stuck out to me, both in terms of just being a really fun song musically and in terms of the lyrics being delightful. Definitely worth a listen, and thank you for a wonderful album. Kamani
