And I won’t care at all
As long as I have youEvery kiss brings a thrill
And I know that it will
As long as I have you

You’re not my first love
But you’re my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I’ll have everything

Forget the past
You’re not my first love
But you’re my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I’ll have everything
As long as I have you
