[Verse 1]
And I would write the prettiest songs you ever heard
And I would fight, sacrifice anything I could
I'd buy you jewels from the farthest corners of this earth
If it made you happy, if it made you happy
And I would walk through barren lands of glass and coal
If you thought the sky'd be prettier as gold
I'd paint it twice
And if you'd like, I'd paint the world

[Chorus]
Because I love you
And I'll hold on to you until you tell me to let go
So you know I love you
And I'll sing it to you so darlin' you know
That I love you, forevermore

[Verse 2]
If you could take all the love that's in my heart
And wrap it in a golden locket to wear around your neck, it'd weigh too much
And if I let it flow, it'd take up all seven seas
We'd take a boat, ride the current, so my darlin' you could see my love, my love, oh-whoa-oh

[Chorus]
Because I love you
And I'll hold on to you until you tell me to let go
So you know I love you
And I'll sing it to you so darlin' you know
That I love you, forevermore
