[Intro]
Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love
[Verse 1]
If you ask me for a heather
I would give you a mountain top
If you wanted to hear a load of music
I would get all the angels pluck their harps
If you ask for a glass of water, I would run all the rivers dry
If you wanted someone else, I would gracefully step aside
Because
[Chorus]
(Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do)
I love you (I love you, I love you)
I love you (I love you, I love you)
[Verse 2]
If you wanted my life, it would be okay
'Cause I loved the ground you walk on, day before yesterday
You're my deal, my ambition
My reason for living each day
You're the alpha and omega, there's nothing left to say
Because
[Chorus]
(Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do)
I love you (I love you, I love you)
I love you (I love you, I love you)
[Verse 3]
If you wanted my life, it would be okay
'Cause I loved the ground you walk on, day before yesterday
You're my deal, my ambition
My reason for living each day
You're the alpha and omega, there's nothing left to say
Because
[Outro]
(Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do do-do, do-do-do-do)
I love
