Lyrics

Have I told you lately that I love you

Could I tell you once again somehow

Have I told with all my heart and soul how I adore you

Well darlin' I'm telling you now


My world would end today if I should lose you

I'm no good without you, anyhow

This heart would break in two if you refuse me

Well darlin' I'm telling you now


Have I told you lately how I miss you

When the stars are shining in the sky

Have I told you why the nights are long 

When you're not with me

Well darlin' I'm telling you now


My world would end today if I should lose you

I'm just no good without you, anyhow

This heart would break in two if you refuse me

My darlin', I'm telling you now...
