I love you

Roger Whittaker · Live! [1994]

I've crossed the world to be with you.

To see you smile, to say: "Hello".

To hold your hands in both of mine,

To tell you something you should know,

crossed the world to let you know,

I love you.

I love you. I love you.

Crossed the world to let you know,

I love you.

If I could live a thousand years.

I'd live to love you, day by day.

For life is love and love is life.

And without love we fade away.

Crossed the world so I could say,

I love you.

I love you. I love you.

Crossed the world so I could say,

I love you.

Love everlasting, honest, true

and never changing always be.

Is all I have to give to you.

A gift from deep inside of me.

Crossed the world so you could see,

I love you.

I love you. I love you.

Crossed the world so you could see,

I love you.

I love you. I love you.

Crossed the world so you could see,

I love you.
