Your love means more to me than 
All the apples hanging on a tree and
Like those apples, our love will grow because I, 
I love you

Your love means more to me than 
All the fishes swimming in the sea and
Like those fishes, my heart begins to swim because I, 
I love you

I love you, I want you for my own
I need you near to me 
More than anyone could ever know

Your love means so much more than 
All the loves I've ever had before, so,
Please believe what I say because I 
I love you

I love you

I love you, I want you for my own
I need you so much more, 
More than anyone could ever know

Everyone knows one and one is two,
I'm the one and the other one's you, so,
Let's get together and you will see how much I, 
I love you
Let's get together and you will see how much I, 
I love you
