The sheet music:


Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

My heart could never quite attune to love
I was immune to love, I confess
Since meeting you
There’s something strange in me
You’ve wrought a change in me, I guess
Some sort of fate has laid its hand on me
Now at your mercy I must be

Refrain
As you desire me, so shall I come to you
Howe’er you want me, so shall I be
Be it forever, or be it just a day
As you desire me, let come what may
I doubt not that you will
Do what you will with me
I give myself to you,
For you’re my destiny
And now, come take me
My very soul is yours
As you desire me, I come to you
