Lyrics:
“My Infinite Love”
When you see a shooting star in the night
When you hear the warm wind whisper through the pines
I want you to know[Chorus:]
It’ll be me and my infinite love for you
It’s just like I promised you under heaven above
It will live on long after we kiss goodbye
Forever by your side
My infinite loveWhen you think someone is callin’ out your name
When you feel that kind of feelin’ you can’t explain
Now you will know[Chorus]
I want you to know
[Chorus]
My infinite love
My infinite love
