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!
