Lyrics
Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
Love me long
Take me to your heart
For it’s there that I belong
And we’ll never part
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
Love me tender
Love me dear
Tell me you are mine
I’ll be yours through all the years
Till the end of time
Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling I love you
And I always will
