I was walking through the woods of yesterday
Taking only what I want
And giving all I have to give

So here I stand in front of you to say
Yeah, you're the only one I want
But love is all I have to give

But if I could give you everything I would
All the mountains and the oceans and the seas
But all I have is love to give
Won't you tell me you're the one for me

So I'm staring at the gates of all my dreams
Yeah and i can see you far inside
Cause you're walking down the road with me

Down the mountains and the valleys like a breeze
Yeah we going where we want to go
Yeah we doing anything we please

But if I could give you everything I would
All the forests and the flowers and the trees
But if love is all you need then we are good
For love is all I have to give
Won't you tell me you're the one for me

But if I could give you everything I would
All the mountains and the oceans and the seas
But if love is all you need than we are good
For love is all i have to give
Won't you tell me you're the one for me

Yeah love is all I have to give
Won't you tell me you're the one for me

Stavo camminando per i boschi di ieri
Prendo solo quello che voglio
E dando tutto quello che ho da dare

Quindi eccomi qui di fronte a te per dire
Sì, sei l'unica che voglio
Ma l'amore è tutto ciò che ho da dare

Ma se potessi darti tutto ciò che vorrei
Tutte le montagne e gli oceani e i mari
Ma tutto quello che ho è amore da dare
Non vuoi dirmi che sei l'unica per me

Quindi sto fissando le porte di tutti i miei sogni
Sì e posso vederti lontano dentro
Perché stai camminando per la strada con me

Giù per le montagne e le valli come una brezza
Sì, stiamo andando dove vogliamo andare
Sì, stiamo facendo tutto ciò che ci piace

Ma se potessi darti tutto ciò che vorrei
Tutte le foreste, i fiori e gli alberi
Ma se l'amore è tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno, allora va bene
Perché l'amore è tutto ciò che ho da dare
Non vuoi dirmi che sei l'unica per me

Ma se potessi darti tutto ciò che vorrei
Tutte le montagne e gli oceani e i mari
Ma se l'amore è tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno, allora va bene
Perché l'amore è tutto ciò che ho da dare
Non vuoi dirmi che sei l'unica per me

Sì, l'amore è tutto ciò che ho da dare
Non vuoi dirmi che sei l'unica per me
