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
