Bridge there was not to convey,
Not a bark was near at hand,
Yet true love soon found the way.

Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
Everywhere and everything.
I love you, always forever
Near and far, close and together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I will do for you
I love you, always forever
Near and far, close and together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everything, I will do for you.
