Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live. Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to, But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live. I never cared...

We were so in love the day love started Who would think that we would soon be parted I just can't believe it's true I make this appeal to you Can't we talk it over, Let's talk it over Before you tell me you're through Can't we sit together And figure whether...

You'd be so easy to love, So easy to idolize, All others above, So worth the yearning for. So swell to keep ev'ry Home-fire waiting for, You'd be so, grand at the game, So carefree together, That it does seem a shame, That you can't see Your future with me,...
