Amado mio, love me forever
And let forever begin tonight
Amado mio, when we're together
I'm in a dream world of sweet delight

Many times I've whispered 'Amado mio'
It was just a phrase that I've heard in plays
I was acting a part
But now when I whisper 'Amado mio'
Can't you tell I care by the feeling there
For it comes from my heart

My one endeavour, my love, my darling
Will be to hold you, and hold you tight
Amado mio, love me forever
And let forever begin tonight

(Instrumental Break)

Amado mio, love me forever
And let forever begin tonight
