Lyrics
Because of you there’s a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine the moon and stars will say you’re mine
Forever and never to part
I only live for your love and your kiss it’s paradise to be near you like this
And because of you my life is now worthwhile and I can smile because of you
I only live for your love and your kiss it’s paradise to be near you like this
And because of you my life is now worthwhile and I can smile because of you
