I've been with you for a fairly long time   May I call you, may I call you, may I call you mine?   And you are near and been with me   May it always, may it always, may it always be      Please don?t leave my side, remember I love you   None of what I have done wrong was really done against you   If you love me and I?m weak, then weaker you must love me more   To reinforce what?s all so strong and all the love we have in store      By example you showed me, livings alright   Stay here with me, stay here with me, stay with me tonight   And come with me when I go to the bedroom   And we?ll play bride, and we?ll play bride and we?ll play bride and groom      If you had not been born you know   What would I? What would I be then?   I would not have strength to grow   And be counted, and be counted among men      Please don?t leave my side, remember I love you   None of what I have done wrong was really done against you   If you love me and I?m weak, then weaker you must love me more   To reinforce what?s all so strong and all the love we have in store      And in the morning we?ll wrestle and ruin our stomachs with coffee   Won?t we be, won?t we be, won?t be happy?   We will rise in anger, love and ardor   Shining, shining, shimmering in love's armor
