Lyrics:
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 Giving 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
