Subject: ADD: All of Me (Bill Staines)
This song is on the early Bill Staines album titled Miles, which I don't have (and I think it's unavailable). I found a YouTube recording of the song by another performer here (click). Here's my transcription from that recording. It doesn't satisfy me. I'll see if I can do better.

ALL OF ME
(Bill Staines)

Loving you is oh, so lovely.
Loving you is oh, so fine.
Even on a cold grey morning,
We can see the sunlight shine.

Loving you is oh, so lovely.
Loving you is oh, so fine.
Even on a cold grey morning,
We can see the sunlight shine.

All the heavens know I love you simply 'cause I told them so.
All the woods (?) in the valley, all the stars, all the stones.
All the flowers in the meadow, all the waves upon the sea.
All the mountains stand in silence far above the golden trees

So I'll sing my fair winds to you, lay them down in simple rhyme.
All of me remains here with you, all I am for all of time.

Loving you is oh, so simple.
Loving you is oh, so fine.
Even on a cold grey morning,
We can see the sunlight shine.
