Darlin' I Love You
The Paragons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darlin' you know, that I love you
And I want you to know
In love as you, in love we'll be
I'll never let you go

Darlin' to prove, that I love you
And to prove that my love is true
Darlin' will you walk to the pre-preacher
And I will say I do

And darlin' you know that my love for you
Grows higher than the tallest tree
And darlin' you know that it runs so low
It's deeper, deeper than the sea

Darlin' you know, that I need you
And I want you to love
In love as you, in love we'll be
I'll never let you go
