Would you like to be the love of my life,
For always,
And always
Watch over me?
To square my blunders
And share my dreams,
One day with caviar,
Next day a chocolate bar!

Would you like to take the merry-go-round?
I'll lead you,
I'll need you,
Wait and you'll see!
I hope in your horoscope
There is room for a dope
Who adores you;
That would make the only dream of my life
Come true,
For the love of my life
Is you!

Come true,
For the love of my life
