Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have made me what I am, and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say, I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more
You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love,
And oh, we belong together
Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever, let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear
In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long
Lady, your love's the only love I need,
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause my love, there's something I want you to know
You're the love of my life; you're my lady

It's a beautiful song, but the minor key might make it a tad too dark for a wedding.
