Lyrics

My love, I offer you now
My heart and all it can give
For just as long as I live, I’m yours

No arms but yours, dear will do
My lips will always be true
My eyes can see only you, I’m yours

And as the years roll along
Your joy, your tears, I’ll gladly share
And when things go wrong, dear
Just hold out your hand and I’ll be there

With every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
Now and forever, sweetheart, I’m yours

And as the years roll along
Your joy and tears, I’ll gladly share
And when things go wrong, dear
Just hold out your hand and I’ll be there

With every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
Now and forever, sweetheart, I’m yours
