  • You came when I was happy; in your sunshine
    I grew to love you more each passing day
    Before too long I built my world around you
    And I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay
    If you love me let me know. If you don't then let me go
    I can't take another minute of a day without you in it
    If you love me, let it be. If you don't then set me free
    Take the chains away that keep me lovin' you
    The arms that open wide to hold me closer
    The hands that run their fingers through my hair
    The smile that says hello, it's good to see you
    Anytime I turn around to find you there
    It's this and so much more that makes me love you
    What else can I do to make you see?
    You now you have whatever's mine to give you
    But a love affair for one can never be

    If you love me let me know. If you don't then let me go
    I can't take another minute of a day without you in it
    If you love me, let it be. If you don't then set me free
    Take the chains away that keep me lovin' you
    Ah! Take the chains away that keep me lovin' you
