If your heart tells you so that you should leave me
Don’t try to forget , you and I never met
And before you fly, one kiss should tell me why
You’ve forgotten all the words that you once said

Long as I’ve got you there beside me
Long as you’re there to stand and guide me
The love we share no one can ever tear apart
Long as I’ve got this life I’m living
Long as it’s you the love I’m with then
I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart

If my love for you can’t make you happy
Just open the door and you won’t see my anymore
And before you fly , one kiss should tell me why
You’ve forgotten all the words that you once said
When you said

Long as I’ve got you there beside me
Long as you’re there to stand and guide me
The love we share no one could ever tear apart
Long as I’ve got this life I’m living
Long as it’s you the love I’m with then
I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart

And I’ll keep on calling you sweetheart
