[English]

My love

There's only you in my life

The only thing that's right

My first love

You're every breath that I take

You're every step I make

And I

I want to share

All my love with you

No one else will do

And your eyes

They tell me how much you care

Oh yes, you will always be

My endless love

Two hearts

Two hearts that beat as one

Our lives have just begun

Forever

I'll hold you close in my arms

I can't resist your charms

And love

I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure

You know I don't mind

I don't mind

'Cause you

You mean the world to me

Oh, I know

I've found in you

My endless love

Ooh, ah

Ooh, ah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, and love

I'll be a fool for you, I'm sure

You know I don't mind

I don't mind

And, yes, you'll be the only one

'Cause no one can deny

This love I have inside

I'll give it all to you

My love, my love

My endless love

Love, my endless love

Oh, oh, oh my

My, my, my, my endless love

Ooh, ooh, my, my, my

My love

My endless love
