I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her to
And I love her
She gave my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings

She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright is the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
I love her

I love her
And I love her
