Standing here your hand in mine
   let me tell you one more time
   nothin' could as brightly shine
   as my love for you!
  
   Moon an' stars are out tonight
   feel their glow, see their light
   still they never shine so bright
   as my love for you!
  
   And when I hold you ( and ) feel you close to me
   I know our sweet love will always, always be
   and all the mountains, hills and rivers too
   won't last as long or be as strong
   as my love for you!
