Lyrics
You are my destiny
You are what you are to me
You are my happiness
That's what you are
You have my sweet caress
You share my loneliness
You are my dream come true
That's what you are
Heaven and heaven alone
Can take your love from me
'Cause I'd be a fool
To ever leave you dear
And a fool I'd never be
You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You're more than life to me
That's what you are
You are my destiny
You share my reverie
You are my happiness
That's what you are
