Chorus:

There’s just one place for me, near you.
It’s like heaven to be near you.
Times when we’re apart, I can’t face my heart.
Say you’ll never stray, more than just two lips away.
If my hours could be spent, near you.
I’d be more than content near you.
Make my life worth while, by telling me that I'll

Spend the rest of my days near you.
