"You know my name..."


Some call me a fool,
for I have lost more treasure, than most kings have seen.

Others call me dreamer,
for I have dreamt of times past, and smiled at the memories.

Some call me courageous, 
but they know not the pain within my breast.

Others call me romantic,
but my actions are atonement, for heartaches past.

Whatever they dire to call me, I'll answer to anything...
as long as there is hope and love, I know my heart will sing.

I'll walk the path I've chosen, though long and hard it seems.
I'll hold my treasure (you) in my heart, 
and love it (you) in my dreams.

So if you chance to call me, don't worry about a name.
I'll be here if you should need me,
Your love, by any name...
