Cole PorterThe Life I Live Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The life I live
I live for you
Every breath I breathe
I breathe for you
My heart
My lips
Is all I have for you
Cause the life I live is yours
[Verse 2]
The sound of bells
Ring for a new day
All day I spend just hoping that you'll say
That you'll spend your life with me
And stay here in my arms
Cause the life I live is yours
[Verse 3]
Life would be a joy to live as long as you are near
In my dark and lonely dreams, you come and calm my fears
Just holding you close to me
Makes my life complete
Your soft caresses, dear, and your kisses all so sweet
It means the world to me
To hear you say you care
Cause the life, oh, the life I live
Yeah, is yours
