I BLESS THE DAY I FOUND YOU,
I WANT TO STAY AROUND YOU,
AND SO I BEG YOU....
LET IT BE ME,
DON'T TAKE THIS HEAVEN FROM ONE,
IF YOU MUST CLING TO SOMEONE,
NOW AND FOREVER....
LET IT BE ME,
EACH TIME WE MEET LOVE,
I FIND COMPLETE LOVE,
WITHOUT YOUR SWEET LOVE,
WHAT WOULD LIFE BE?
SO, NEVER LEAVE ME LONELY,
TELL ME YOU'LL LOVE ME ONLY,
AND THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS....
