Standing here your hand in mine
Let me tell you one more time
Nothin' could as brightly shine
As my love for you!

Moon an' stars are out tonight
Feel their glow, see their light
Still they never shine so bright
As my love for you!

And when i hold you ( and ) feel you close to me
I know our sweet love will always, always be
And all the mountains, hills and rivers too
Won't last as long or be as strong
As my love for you!

And when i hold you an' feel you close to me
I know our sweet love will always, always be
And all the mountains, hills and rivers too
Won't last as long or be as strong
As my love for you!

And when i hold you
An' feel you close to me
I know our sweet love
Will always, always be . . .
