Lyrics
I can only give you love that lasts forever
I can offer enduring love.
And the promise to be near each time you call
I promise to be there whenever you need.
And the only heart I own for you and you alone
My heart belongs to you and only you.
That's all, that's all
This sums up what I can provide.
I can only give you country walks in springtime
I can give you pleasant walks in the countryside during spring.
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
I'll be there to support you as the leaves fall.
And a love whose burning light
My love will bring warmth to winter nights.
Will warm the winter night
Expressing the intensity of love with a burning light metaphor.
That's all, that's all
Reiterating the limited but sincere offerings.
There are those, I am sure, who have told you
Acknowledging the existence of others who might make grand promises.
They would give you the world for a toy
Contrasting with those who claim to offer the world as a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
I have only my arms to embrace you.
And the love time can never destroy
Emphasizing a love that time cannot diminish.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear
Addressing what is expected in return.
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Reassuring that the expectations are modest.
Say it's me that you adore, for now and evermore
Requesting affection and commitment now and forever.
That's all, that's all
Summing up the simplicity of the desired relationship.
