As my debt grows, so my love does, too. What you give I cannot half repay. Your love for me enflames my love for you. I can't help being moody, often blue, Irritable, anxious, sad, and yet you stay. As my debt grows, so my love does, too. I know I'm lucky to have someone who Will love me through this, day by troubled day. Your love for me enflames my love for you. Gifts like yours to me do not accrue. Still, it's hard when giving goes one way. As my debt grows, so my love does, too. Yet unlike money, love is never due. Its return is free, in just the way Your love for me enflames my love for you, A natural grace, making one of two. And so this darkness has its own bright ray: As my debt grows, so my love does, too; Your love for me enflames my love for you.
