It shall stay
With you on my back I need not fear or dread
I let your name be written on my back
It shall stay
With you on my back I need not fear or dread
I need you
And I won't trade
I love you, I say no more
I will love and honor you
Every morning I thank you
And this love should grow even more
My hope rests entirely on you
You taught me how to love and not to hate
Since I knew your love, I can't let go of my heart
You taught me how to love and not to hate
Since I knew your love, I can't let go of my heart
I need you
And I won't trade
I love you, I say no more
I will love and honor you
Every morning I thank you
And this love should grow even more
My hope rests entirely on you
I need you
And I won't trade
I love you, I say no more
