Lyric
Just to look in your eyes againJust to lay in your armsJust to be the first one always there for youJust to live in your laughterJust to sing in your heartJust to be everyone of your dreams come trueJust to sit by your windowJust to touch in the nightJust to offer a prayer each day for youJust to long for your kissesJust to dream of your sighsJust to know that I’d give my life for youFor you, for the rest of my lifeFor you, all the best of my lifeFor you alone, only for youJust to wake up each morningJust to you by my sideJust to know that you’re never really far awayJust a reason for livingJust to say, “I adore”Just to know that you’re here in my heart to stayFor you for, the rest of my lifeFor you all, the best of my lifeFor you alone, only for youJust the words of a love songJust the beat of my heartJust the pledge of my life, my love, for you
