  • My own true love
    My own true love
    At last I've found you
    My own true love

    No lips but yours
    No arms but yours
    Will ever lead me
    Through Heaven's door

    I roamed the Earth
    In search of this
    I knew I'd know you
    Know you by your kiss

    And by your kiss
    You've shown true love
    I'm yours forever
    My own true love
