The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You’re the dream I will cling to
You’re the one I’ll adore
Take the love I will bring you
The song I’ll sing you forever more
Refrain
A heart that longs for you
Two arms that will be true
These things I offer you for a lifetime
Two lips with one desire
To set your heart afire
These things I offer you for a lifetime
A cozy little nest just meant for us to share
Perhaps a tiny guest will be arriving there
My life, my love, my all
Are at your beck and call
These things I offer you for a lifetime
