Lyrics
1. Years of desire and wanting
Days that no pleasure knew
Love dreams and fancies haunting
And then at last I found you
Refrain:
The rose of love soft caressing your lips
Oh, Lady Divine
My heart its plea now confessing
With hope is whispering to thine
Your eyes, your smile find me longing
To draw your breast to mine
Love’s call obeying, and hear you saying
You are my Lady Divine
2. Lady Divine, I knew thee
Long ere we met, it seems
You were beside me, truly
Living in all of my dreams
