Lyrics
You are the answer to my lonely prayer
You are an angel from above
I was so lonely till you came to me
With the wonder of your love
I don’t know how I ever lived before
You are my life, my destiny
Oh, my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me
If you should, ever, ever go away
There would be lonely tears to cry
The sun above would never shine again
There would be teardrops in the sky
So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling I love you so
You mean everything to me
So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling I love you so
You mean everything to me
