• They tell me that it’s wrong

    They tell me that it’s vile

    Yet my heart does not protest

    When I dream of you on the aisle

    What I feel for you is true

    And runs deep within my blood

    But when I walk outside with you

    The insults come in a flood

    I envision you in a dress

    Pure and white and fair

    With stars shining in your eyes

    And pearls within your hair

    How can what I feel be evil

    Be some unearthly sin

    When all I have ever done

    Is hold love for you within

    I have not harmed another person

    Nor have you done them foul

    Yet upon their judging faces

    I see hatred in their scowl

    The law does not support us

    And our family holds only few

    And it’s all because on our special day

    I’ll wear a dress just like you.

    And pearls within my hair

    And stars inside my eyes

    But the world does not accept us

    They hold loathing in their eyes

    What I want is real

    What I want is true

    All I want is to be in a place

    Where I can love a girl like you
