It's all I have to give
This heart with which I live
A love pure, honest, and true
Is all I have to offer you

So what shall it be love?
Take my heart and soar above?
Or are you afraid to know
The depth of love I show?

Now love, yours is the choice
Open your ears, hear my voice
This heart with which I live
It's all I have to give

"Why do you love me so?" she asks, question in her voice.

"Oh I love you, simply because you are you", was his tender reply.
