and i love you so.
the people ask me how,
how i’ve lived till now.
i tell them i don’t know.
i guess they understand
how lonely life has been.
but life began again
the day you took my hand.
and, yes, i know how lonely life can be.
the shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
but i don’t let the evening get me down
now that you’re around me.
and you love me, too.
your thoughts are just for me;
you set my spirit free.
i’m happy that you do.
the book of life is brief
and once a page is read,
all but love is dead.
that is my belief.
and, yes, i know how loveless life can be.
the shadows follow me, and the night won’t set me free.
but i don’t let the evening bring me down
now that you’re around me.
and i love you so.
the people ask me how,
how i’ve lived till now.
i tell them, "i don’t know."
