Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life
I've been waiting for you
My wonderful one, I've begun
Living all my life

All my love
Has been waiting for you
My life is sublime, now that I'm
Living all my love

You seem so lovely, so far above me
I'm almost afraid to look
But I adore you; I pledge before you
A heart that's an open book

All my life
Hold me close to your heart




But all else above, hold my love
Darling, just hold my love
