Lyrics
I give her all my love
That’s all I do
And if you saw my love
You’d love her too
I love herShe gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love herA love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near meBright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love herBright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
