As sure as night

So answer this love I give
And whisper "I'm yours"
As long as I live

@iainr222 thanks! I use my Sennheiser in ear headphones when I'm restoring it, they give a much better result than my speakers and I can really fine tune things! I often pick up mistakes that aren't evident on my laptop speakers for example. It's worth putting the time in to such a good song like this :)
