I bless the day I found you
I am thankful for the day I met you
I want to stay around you
I desire to be close to you
and so I beg you let it be me
I plead with you to choose me
Don't take this heaven from one
Do not take away this bliss from a person
if you must cling to someone
If you need to hold onto someone
Now and forever let it be me
Choose me now and always
Each time we meet love I find complete love
Every time we reunite, I feel fulfilled love
Without your sweet sweet love what would life be
Life would be incomplete without your affection
So never leave me lonely tell me you love me only
Do not abandon me, profess your exclusive love for me
And that you'll always let it be me
Promise that you will always choose me
Now and forever let it be me
Choose me now and for all time
