If I Shall

If I shall die in a forest
Lay me down in the leaves.
Let my body become
One with the trees.

If I shall fall in love in the winter.
Let it blossom even more in the spring.
But let it grow slowly
Like the rings of the trees.

If I shall give you my heart,
My body, my soul
Just know I am yours forever
To have and to hold.
Forever I'll love you
Until my last breath
Until we grow old.

But if I shall die in a forest
Lay me down in the leaves.
Let my body become
One with the trees.
Don't let your heart ache.
Just let my spirit be free.
