Spare Me A Minute (Quatern)

Spare me a minute you will know
how strong and true my love does grow
thoughts of you wrap my mind and burns
you are the one who makes me yearn

Look how you set my nights aglow
spare me a minute you will know
my passion will not cease its fire
for my words have you to admire

You are treasured deep in my heart
no storm can scatter us apart
spare me a minute you will know
that my feelings are not a show

You hold loves' key to set us free
open the door and come to me
wishes and dreams they wait to flow
spare me a minute you will know
