If you should ask me to open my heart
There is so much that I could say
But when I'm with you, I just don't know where to start
Time in your arms slips away

And, darling, if I picked a rose for every dream
That heaven knows you gave me
If I sign each letter with a kiss for all the tears you save me
If I take from now until forever and the day it's true
'Cause four and twenty hours, seven days of every week, I love you

I can't think of any other thing that I would rather do
'Cause four and twenty hours seven days of every week I love you

Love is a word that's so easily said
You must have heard it all before
There may be ways that I could prove my love instead
Believe me, I couldn't love you more

And, darling, if I picked a rose for every dream
That heaven knows you gave me
If I sign each letter with a kiss for all the tears you save me
If I take from now until forever and the day it's true
'Cause four and twenty hours seven days of every week, I love you

I can't think of any other thing that I would rather do
'Cause four and twenty hours, seven days of every week, I love you
'Cause four and twenty hours, seven days of every week, I love you

And, darling, if I picked a rose for every dream
That heaven knows you gave me
If I sign each letter with a kiss for all the tears you save me
'Cause four and twenty hours
