I've been with you for a fairly long time,

May I call you, may I call you, may I call you mine?



And you are near, an' been with me,

May it always, may it always, may it always be,



Please don't leave my side, remember I love you,

None of what I have done wrong was really done against you,



If you love me and I'm weak, then weaker you must love me more,

To reinforce what's all so strong, and all the love we have in store,



By example you showed me, livings alright,

Stay here with me, stay here with me, stay with me tonight,



And come with me when I go to the bedroom,

And we'll play bride, and we'll play bride, and we'll play bride and groom,



If you had not been born you know,

What would I? What would I be then?



I would not have strength to grow,

And be counted, and be counted among men.



Please don't leave my side, remember I love you,

None of what I have done wrong was really done against you,



If you love me and I'm weak, then weaker you must love me more,

To reinforce what's all so strong, and all the love we have in store,



And in the morning we'll wrestle and ruin our stomachs with coffee,

Won't we be, won't we be, won't be happy?



We will rise in anger, love and ardour,

Shining, shining, shimmering in loves armour.
