Tom Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are my reason to live
All I own I would give
Just to have you adore me

Till the moon deserts the sky
Till the all the seas run dry
Till then I'll worship you
Till the tropic sun grows cold
Till this young world grows old
My darling, I'll adore you

You are my reason to live
All I own I would give
Just to have you adore me

Till the rivers flow upstream

Till lovers cease to dream
Till then I'm yours, be mine
