music by Brendan Milburn
poem by e. e. cummings

lyrics

This is an adaptation of a poem by e. e. cummings from his book 95 poems, published in 1958. Not 100% clear on the legality of reprinting his text here, but if you like this poem why not buy "100 selected poems" from your local bookstore - it's a worthy collection and great for sifting through with a cup of tea.

Here's the text as I sing it:

i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
i am never without it, anywhere i go you go, my dear
i carry your heart with me
i carry it in my heart
and whatever is done by only me is your doing my darling, I fear no
fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) - I want no
world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever
a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky
of a tree called life, which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart with me
I carry it in my heart.
