Knowing you stand by me through good and bad

Makes all the difference in my life

And day by day, sweetheart, I find

These are the ties that bind

The little things you do that please me so Aww, the way you always understand

When simple joys bring peace of mind

These are the ties that bind

You’re all I need to see me through

Can I say more than this, my love?

I live just for your kiss, my love

I live just for your kiss, my love

Forever and a day, my love will live

Mmm, the flame of love will never die

So heart and soul please say you’re mine

Held by the ties that bind

(These are the ties that bind)
