Because of you there's a song in my heart

Because of you my romance had its start

Because of you the sun will shine

The moon and stars will say you're mine

Forever and never to part



I only live for your love and your kiss

It's paradise to be near you like this

Because of you my life is now worthwhile

And I can smile

Because of you

I only live for your love and your kiss

It's paradise to be near you like this

Because of you my life is now worthwhile

And I can smile

Because of you
