If the sun refused to shine  
I would still be loving you. 
When mountains crumble to the sea  
There will still be you and me. 

Kind woman, I give you my all  
Kind woman, nothing more. 
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain  
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by. 
My love is strong  with you there is no wrong  
Together we shall go until we die. 
My  my  my  An inspiration is what you are to me  
Inspiration, look see. 
And so today, my world it smiles, 
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles, 
Thanks to you it will be done, 
For you to me are the only one. 
Happiness, no more be sad, 
Happiness, I'm glad.
