To know you is to love you.
What a blessing it is
That you are mine!
While I breathe, I am yours.

To know you is to love you.
I know you better than anyone,
And so I love you in equal measure.
I’ll love you still more, someday.

Every day I see more clearly
What a blessing it is
That my soul is bound to yours
With links forged in Heaven.

Not a day goes by
That I don’t thank God
That you are mine
To have and to hold.

I don’t know where life will lead,
But I know who will go with me.
Whatever else may happen,
While I breathe, I am yours.
