Above All Things
I have taken you in my arms
I prefer you to my life itself
For I love you, I love you
And my most ardent dream is
To spend my days in such a way
To be near you, to be near you
And this present life is nothing
Without knowing that we're loving
I am here to live for you
Yes here to live with you
For I love you
I have taken you in my heart
I prefer you to all else
Because I love you
And together we in prayer
Beseech the blessing
We will share, I love you
I place your love above all things
Nothing would be more bitter to me
Than to be of a different mind than you
Than to be of a different mind
I place your love above all things
Nothing would be more painful to me
Than to be of a different heart than you
Than to be of a different heart
I love you
And this present life is nothing
Without knowing that we're loving
I am here to live for you, here to live with you
For I love you. I love you
I place your love above all things
Nothing would be more bitter to me
Than to be of a different mind than you
Than to be of a different mind
I place your love above all things
Nothing would be more painful to me
Than to be of a different heart than you
Than to be of a different heart
