I’ll never let you go
Why? Because I love you
I’ll always love you so
Why? Because you love me
No broken hearts for us
‘Cause we love each other
And with our faith and trust
There could be no other

Why? Because you lome me)
Yes you love me
We found the perfect love
Yes, a love that’s yours and mine
