Lyrics

If I go a million miles away
I'll write a letter each and every day now
Oh honey, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing is ever gonna change this love I have for you
No no, no no
You, you make me weep
You can make me moan
Tell me you just got back, darling
I'll just say, "Well, welcome home"
For honey, nothing, nothing in this world
Could ever stop this love
Could ever stop this love I have for you
Oh no, oh no
Oh, you're the apple of my eye
My sweet little cherry pie
Darling, you can be my cake and ice cream
Sugar and spice, everything nice
You can be the girl of my dreams
If you would only meet me at home
When you get back, when you get back
I'll just say, "Well, welcome home now"
Oh, my darling, nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing could ever change
This love I have for you, oh now, oh now
