Be my love, for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire
Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand, we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you, for me eternally
If you will be my love

Be my love, for no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms the way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire with ev'ry sweet desire
Be my love, and with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate




And hand in hand, we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you, for me eternally

John 3:16….

16 “For God loved+ the world* so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,+ in order that everyone exercising faith+ in him might not be destroyed+ but have everlasting life.+

Acts 17:31
+ 31 Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge+ the inhabited earth* in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee* to all men in that he has resurrected+ him from the dead.”

John 5:25-29…
25 “Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead+ will hear the voice+ of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself,*+ so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself.+ 27 And he has given him authority to do judging,+ because Son of man+ he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs+ will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life,+ those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Never equaled, never surpassed. Greatest tenor that ever lived.

@jubalcalif9100

He was no Percy Helton, but the late great Mr Lanza did indeed have one powerful voice !

@andyb.1643

I won my wife's heart by serenading her with this song. I still don't know if it was her sense of humor or sense of romance. I still let it rip once in a while, and she still loves me!

@alistairmacleod8513

My dad chose this for my mum's funeral. It's beautiful
