I can't be free to marry you we both know that
But I dedicate my life to you each minute that I live
And if you'll only try to take me like I am I'll give you what there is of me to give
I can't live with you but I'll live for you every minute every hour every day
I can't live with you but I'll live for you and I'll try to make you happy in my own way
[ steel ]
I'll think of you each morning when the sun comes up
I'll think of you at midnight when I lay me down to sleep
I'll be true to you with every single breath I take
All that's mine but me is yours to keep
I can't live with you
Yes I'll try to make you happy in my own way
