Lyrics
My love, there’s only you in my life
The only thing that’s right
My first love
You’re every breath that I take
You’re every step I make
And I, I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh, yes
You will always be
My endless love
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever (oh)
I’ll hold you close in my arms
I can’t resist your charms
And love, oh love
I’ll be a fool for you I’m sure
You know I don’t mind (oh)
You know I don’t mind
‘Cause you
You mean the world to me (oh)
I know, I know
I’ve found, I’ve found in you
My endless love
Ohh
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom boom, boom
Oh, and love oh, love
I’ll be that fool for you I’m sure
You know I don’t mind
Oh, you know I don’t mind
And, yes
You’ll be the only one
‘Cause no one can deny
This love I have inside
And I’ll give it all to you
My love, my love, my love
My endless love
