Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen to me and hold me tight
And you will see our love so right
Hold me darling, listen closely to me
[Verse 2]
Your eyes will see what love can do
Reveal to me your love so true
Listen to me, listen closely to me
[Verse 3]
I've told the stars you're my only love
I want to love you tenderly
Those same bright stars in heaven above
Know now how sweet sweethearts can be
[Verse 4]
Listen to me, hear what I say
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, listen closely to me
[Verse 5]
Listen to me
Listen, listen
Listen to me
[Verse 6]
I've told the stars you're my only love
I want to love you tenderly
Those same bright stars in heaven above
Know now how sweet sweethearts can be
[Verse 7]
Listen to me, hear what I say
Our hearts can be nearer each day
Hold me darling, listen closely to me
