Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you well darling I'm telling you now
This hear would break in two if you refuse me I'm no good without you anyhow
Have I told you lately that I love you well darling I'm telling you now
Have I told you lately how I miss you when the stars are shining in the skies
Have I told why the nights are long when you're not with me
Well darling I'm telling you now
Well darling I'm telling you now
