Lyrics
“For You”
Just to look in your eyes again, just to lay in your arms
Just to be the first one always there for you
Just to live in your laughter, just to sing in your heart
Just to be every one of your dreams come true
Just to sit by your window, just to touch in the night
Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses, just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that I’d give my life for you
For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the best of my life, for you alone, only for youJust to wake up each morning, just to have you by my side
Just to know that you’re never really far away
Just a reason for living, just to say I adore
Just to know that you’re here in my heart to stay
For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the best of my life, for you alone, only for you
Just the words of a love song, just the beat of my heart
Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you
