Lyrics
Take me, I’m yours if you’ll take me
I want you to make me a part of your heart
Hold me, I dreamed you would hold me
Now really enfold me, say we’ll never part
All the love I have to give
I want to give to you,
And as long as I shall live
I’ll only live for you,
Take me, and never forsake me
My darling, please take me and
Make your own.
