Lyrics
Love me with all of your heart
That’s all I want, love
Love me with all of your heart or not at all
Just promise me this
That you’ll give me all your kisses
Every winter, every summer, every fall
When we are far apart or when you’re near me
Love me with all of your heart as I love you
Don’t give me your love
For a moment, or an hour
Love me always as you’ve loved me from the start
With every beat of your heart
Just promise me this
That you’ll give me all your kisses
Every winter, every summer, every fall
When we are far apart or when you’re near me
Love me with all of your heart as I love you
Don’t give me your love
For a moment or an hour
Love me always as you’ve loved me from the start
With every beat of your heart
