That's all I want to know

You see I love everything about her, and I'd never ever let her go
The wind blows cold tonight, I'm counting stars one by one

I wonder if she knows what her love means
What would I do without her? Who would I be alone?
You see I love everything about her, and I'd never ever let her go
The wind blows cold tonight, I'm counting stars one by one
Holding her so close tonight, and I know she is my warmest rising sun
