Love me tender, love me sweet,
Never let me go. You have made my life complete And I love you so. Refrain: Love me tender, love me true, All my dreams fulfill; For my darling', I love you And I always will. Love me tender, love me long, Take me to your heart. For it's there that I belong, And we'll never part. Love me tender, love me dear, Tell me you are mine. I'll be yours through all the years, Till the end of time. |
