Yours is my heart alone
My heart belongs to you and you only
And without you, life holds no charm
Life is dull and uninteresting without your presence
Yours every thought I own
I think of you constantly and exclusively
Our love the theme of every dream
My dreams revolve around our love and shared experiences
All that makes life seem worthwhile
Everything that gives meaning to life
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile
The happiness and fulfillment that comes from being in love with you is evident in your eyes and smile
There is no song half so sweet to me
No other song comes close to the sweetness I feel when I hear your voice
As your voice whispering I love you dear
The most beautiful sound I've ever heard is your voice saying 'I love you'

You can only fully appreciate this if you play clarinet. The way he models each single note, variating the vibrato, the dynamics, the sound, even the pitch, bending the rhythm, this is nothing short of ingenuous. Believe me, clarinet is not an easy instrument to play. But it sounds so natural when HE plays it. Such musicians are born only every several hundred years.
