Lyrics:
I can’t help smiling when I look at youTo keep from going crazy is all I can doI’m so defenseless with you so closeThe walls have crumbled from my body and soulWrite your name across my heartI want the world to know that I am yours foreverAnd I will wear it like a shining starWrite your name across my heartFor you my life is an open doorEverything I have is yoursI’ll try to give you everything you needBut as far as love goes, there’s a life-time guaranteeWrite your name across my heart (across my heart)I want the world to know that I am yours foreverAnd I will wear it like a shining starWrite your name across my heartIn all my thoughts, in all I do, in all I sayI belong to you with every breath I takeWrite your name (write your name) across my heartI want the world to know that I am yours forever (forever baby)And I will wear it like a shining starWrite your name, across my heartAnd I will wear it like a shining starWrite your name across my heart (across my heart)
