Oh darling,
You don't know
How dear you are to me.
Oh darling,
You don't know
How much you mean to me.
Oh darling,
You don't know
How much I care for you.

Oh darling,
I don't know
If I am dear to you.
Oh darling,
I don't know
If I mean much to you.
Oh darling,
I don't know
If you care for me.

I could be
As dear to you
As you are dear to me.
I could mean
As much to you
As you, my darling, mean to me.
You could care
As much for me
As I, my darling, care for you.

Or I could be
As dear to you
As a stranger on the street.
Oh, I could mean
As much to you
As that which has no meaning.
You could care
As much for me
As cares that nonexistent be.

Yet even so,
My darling,
You are dearer to me
Than the life I live itself.
My darling,
You mean more to me
Than everything I've ever loved.
My darling,
I care more for you
Than for the very breath I breathe.

Oh darling,
All I want in life
Is to be dear
To you;
Is to mean much
To you;
Is to be cared for
By you.

Oh darling,
If I had one wish
I could be certain would come true
I would wish
That I could be
A darling
Dear
To you.
