Lyrics: My days have grown so lonely, for you I cry, for you dear only, why havent you seen it, Im all for you body and soul. I spend my days in longing, and wondering why its me that youre wronging, I tell you I mean it, Im all for you body and soul. I cant believe it, its hard to conceive it that youd throw away romance, are you pretending, it looks like the ending, unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear. My life a hell youre making, you know Im yours for just the taking, Id gladly surrender myself to you body and soul. What lies before me a future thats stormy, a winter thats gray and cold, unless theres magic, the end will be tragic and therefor a tale thats been told so often, my life revolves about you, what earthly good am I without you. Oh I tell you I mean it, Im all for you body and soul.. youtu.be/H6rjSo-F7UM
