Above All Things

I have taken you in my arms

I prefer you to my life itself

For I love you, I love you

And my most ardent dream

Is to spend my days in such a way

To be near you, to be near you

I have placed your love above all things

And nothing would be more bitter to me

Than to be of a different mind than you

Than to be of a different mind

I have placed your love above all things

And nothing would be more painful to me

Than to be of a different heart than you

Than to be of a different heart

I love you

I have taken you in my heart

I prefer you to all else

Because I love you

And together we in prayer

Beseech the blessing we will share

I love you, I love you

And this present life is nothing

Without knowing that we're loving

I am here to live for you, here to live with you

For I love you

I love you

I love you

I have placed your love above all things

And nothing would be more bitter to me

Than to be of a different mind than you

Than to be of a different mind

I have placed your love above all things

And nothing would be more painful to me

Than to be of a different heart than you

Than to be of a different heart

'Cause I love you
