I have taken you in my arms I prefer you to my life itself For I love you, I love you And my most ardent dream Is to spend my days in such a way To be near you, to be near you I have placed your love above all things And nothing would be more bitter to me Than to be of a different mind than you Than to be of a different mind I have placed your love above all things And nothing would be more painful to me Than to be of a different heart than you Than to be of a different heart I love you I have taken you in my heart I prefer you to all else Because I love you And together we in prayer Beseech the blessing we will share I love you, I love you And this present life is nothing Without knowing that we're loving I am here to live for you, here to live with you For I love you I love you I love you I have placed your love above all things And nothing would be more bitter to me Than to be of a different mind than you Than to be of a different mind I have placed your love above all things And nothing would be more painful to me Than to be of a different heart than you Than to be of a different heart 'Cause I love you
