Sonny James – Endlessly lyrics
Higher than the highest mountain
Deeper than the deepest sea
That’s how I will love you
Oh, darlin’, endlessly
Softer than the gentle breezes
Stronger than the wild oak tree
That’s how I will hold you
Oh, darlin’, endlessly
Oh, my love, you are my heaven
You are my kingdom, you are my crown
Oh, my love, you’re all I pray for
You were made for these arms to surround
Faithful as a moment’s sunrise
Safe as a love can be
That’s how I will love you
Oh, darlin’, endlessly
Oh, my love, you’re all I pray for
You were made for these arms to surround
Faithful as a moment’s sunrise
Safe as a love can be
That’s how I will love you
Oh, darlin’, endlessly
