  • If I was a flower growing wild and free
    All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee
    And if I was a tree growing tall and green
    All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

    If I was a flower growing wild and free
    All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee
    And if I was a tree growing tall and green
    All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

    All I want is you, will you be my bride
    Take me by the hand and stand by my side?
    All I want is you, will you stay with me
    Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea?

    If you were a river in the mountains tall
    The rumble of your water would be my call
    If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
    Just as long as you were with me when the cold winds blow

    All I want is you, will you be my bride
    Take me by the hand and stand by my side?
    All I want is you, will you stay with me
    Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea?

    If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
    If you were a seed, well, I'd be a pod
    If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
    And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

    All I want is you, will you be my bride
    Take me by the hand and stand by my side?
    All I want is you, will you stay with me
    Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea?

    If you were the wood, I'd be the fire
    If you were the love, I'd be the desire
    If you were a castle, I'd be your moat
    And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float

    All I want is you, will you be my bride
    Take me by the hand and stand by my side?
    All I want is you, will you stay with me
    Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea? Writer/s: Barry Polisar
