Lyrics
I have been planning, each long day for you
All of the things I would do
To make our lives both complete
To earn your kisses so sweet.
I have been dreaming of some perfect day
When we’d be going away
Just two together
This old world to weather
Along to the end of the play.
Chorus
All for you, ev’ry beat of my heart
All for you, we never can part.
Ev’ry care, ev’ry pray’r that I know
Follows you wherever you go.
See my arms are reaching
Hear my lips beseeching
All for you, only you
Smiles or tears,
All for you, I live through the years.
