Not the j**els Of a thousand kings Not the waves Of the mighty sea Not the powers that be In the heavens or in hell Could ever separate me From your love When you ask me to be near you And you say, "Come, take my hand" I say, "Be near me" "Be near me" There is nowhere else I'd rather stay Than in your arms There is nowhere else I want to be But in your arms Not the skies Or the stars above Not the treasure Of a thousand loves Not palaces of gold Or castles by the sea Could ever separate me From your love
