1. No one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love,

2. Closer than the leaves on a weepin' willow, baby, we are,

1. for nowhere in the world could there be a boy as true as you, love.

2. closer, dear, are we than the simple letters "A" and "B" are.

1. All my love, I give gladly to you, all your love you give gladly to me.

2. All my life, I could love only you, all your life you could love only me.

Tell me, why then, oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other, we go on hurting each other,

making each other cry, hurting each other, without ever knowing - - why.
