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 place 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
All my life

(Instrumental Break)

You seem so lovely
So far above me
I'm almost afraid to look
But I adore you
I place 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
All my life
