You're more than life to me
More than eternity
And the more I know of you
All the more I love you

I need you more each day
Much more than words can say
More than forevermore

I'll be yours

The silver moon will fade too soon
And bring the dawn when you'll be gone
Before you go, please let me know
That what you feel is really real

So do not grieve that I must leave
Because I live only for
Your love an' mine
More and more!

You're more than life to me (ohh!)
More than eternity
And the more I know of you
All the more I love you

I need you more each day
Much more than words can say
More than forevermore
I'll be yours

More than forevermore
I'll be yours!
