"WITHOUT ME"

Don’t let the sky turn without me.
Don’t let the Moon shine without me.
Don’t let the Earth spin without me.
Don’t let the days pass without me.

Moonlight reveals the sky’s bright face.
I am the light, you are the Moon—
Don’t rise without me.
The thorn is protected by the rose!
You are the rose, I am the thorn—
Don’t show your beauty without me.

O joyous companion of the King,
Don’t drink without me.
O watchman on the rooftop,
Don’t stay up without me.
Woe to those who travel alone. . . .
You know every sign,
You’ve walked upon every path—
Don’t go without me.
Some call you love,
I call you the King of Love.
You are beyond all imaginings,
taking me places
I can’t even dream of.
O Ruler of my Heart,
wherever you go . . .
Don’t go without me.
