Lyrics

Holy comely affinity eternally

Little Cherub
Precious wonder
Let your breath be mine
In blessed slumber

Holy comely divinity eternally
A yearning a kiss a blessed ardor

Solemn and sacred
A day of no sorrow or hatred
We marry mindful of those we cherish
And hold in the aura of love

Love portend promise
Of a covenent in earnest
Explicated with capacious honor

All my life to serenade you
To kiss adorn to savor
A sip of wine to begin

A moment we shall always know
As the time beauty looked upon
Verity anon fain yet
Sanguine than a star

Sanctum decorus commissura aeternus
Aveo savium beo amor

Solemnnis divinus lumen no dolor
Aut odium nubere
Memor de illi nos amo
Et habeo intus aura de amor

Amor omen fides
De a pacis cor in gravis
Explicatus cum collativus ve rum

Omnis mea vita occento
Vos savior vestio
Villum occepto

A mor est canorus deor sum
Omnis silentium
Verum decessor de sol
Heres de aurae
