My love and devotion 
Will always be true
Now and forever 
I live for you

My love and devotion 
Are yours, yours alone
Kiss me beloved 
Say you're my own

I kiss your lips 
Sweet and tender
They open Heaven's door
Won't you surrender 
Forevermore 

My love will grow deeper 
As time passes by 
Deep as the ocean 
And as high as the sky 
My love, my devotion 
Are yours till I die

Deep as the ocean 
And as high as the sky 
My love, my devotion 
Are yours - till - I - die...
