Em cứ như lá non, xanh biếc không phấn son

There was a little girl
who fell in love with a little boy
She wrote only for him
Sweet verses of love theme
She dared not confess her heart
So timid, she hid it in the dark
But so often she sang in silence

I love you so
Love you always
I love you more
Day after day
I love you so
Oh my sweetie
All my life I love you thee

Then they turned fifteen years old
There one night after school
The boy told her: “I love you
Only your love that I long to hold”
Then at last, came from her heart
the words she long kept in the dark
In trembling, she was singing

I love you so
Love you always
I love you more
Day after day
I love you so
Oh my sweetie
All my life I love you thee

Happiness had folded its wings
There he was, only for her
As the night came, lullaby was verses of heart
For the little couple so passionate in love

I love you so
Love you always
I love you more
Day after day
I love you so
Oh my sweetie
All my life I love you thee

Then a morning of December
A birthday gift for her lover
She'd love to find somehow
So she headed for downtown
A car went by, out of her sight
Those who saw would be so sure
At that blink, she was singing

I love you so
Love you always
I love you more
Day after day
I love you so
Oh my sweetie
All my life I love you thee

While the nurses was taking care
of the girl whose life was frail
In her eyes now being veiled
She relived her cherished romance
And just before her loving heart
gave the beat for the very last
verses for her lover, she whispered

I love you so
Love you always
I love you more
Day after day
I love you so
Oh my sweetie
All my life I love you thee...
