Lyrics
I will live my life for you
Just for you, only you
I will give all I possess
For your happiness
Every wish I will fulfill
Even make the world stand still
So until I’m old and gray
I will pray that I may
Live my life for you
Every wish I will fulfill
Even make the world stand still
So until I’m old and gray
I will pray that I may
Live my life for you
