Lyrics

Fast asleep I see you
Wide awake I see you
Always gay, always fair
Always sweet, always there
Day by day I sing my too insistent song
Never felt an emotion so strong

Refrain:
I want you so much
All the time
Need the warmth of your touch
All the time
All the time I knew you would be
Perfect for love, perfect for me
If we’d never kissed I’d be free
And this terrible longing would not follow me
That kiss changed my life
Don’t you see?
I must have you all the time now
