You, who brought the sunshine to my eyes
You, who wondered through my sad disguise
And I have a love that can not die… for you

High Priestess of my heart
Tell me that we won’t part

Then let’s get together in the sky
To leave the lonely world to wonder why
For we have a love that cannot die… so true

High priestess of my heart
Tell me that we won’t part
