Lyrics:

I am yours and you are mine, come what may
Love like ours remains divine, come what may
Even though we're miles apart
You're living in my lonely heart
At night the teardrops start and pour the long long day

1. I've got your picture near me since you went away
I plant a kiss upon your lips each night and day
Bear in mind and you will find a heart that is true
And I'll be here with you come what may

1. (repeat)

And I'll be here with you come what may
And I'll be here with you come what may
And I'll be here with you come what may
