Cause forever I will pray.
You and I will be as free as
The birds up in the trees.
Oh, please stay by me, Diana!

Thrills I get when you hold me close.
Oh, my darling, you're the most.
I love you but do you love me?
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart?
And I hope we'll never part.
Oh, please stay with me, Diana!

Oh, my darling, oh, my lover¹!
Tell me that there is no other.
I love you with all my heart
Ah, oh, ah, oh, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Only you can take my heart;
Only you can tear it apart.
When you hold me in your loving arms,
I can feel you giving all your charms².
Hold me, darling, hold me tight!
Squeeze³ me, baby, with all your might.
Oh, please stay by me, Diana!
Oh, please, Diana! Oh, please, Diana!
Oh, please, Diana!
