Lyric
And I love you soPeople ask me howHow I’ve lived ’til nowI tell them I don’t know
I guess they understandHow lonely life has beenBut life began againThe day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can beWhen Shadows follow me and the night won’t set me freeBut I don’t let the evening get me downNow that you’re around me
And you love me tooYour thoughts are just for meYou set my spirit freeI’m happy that you do
The book of life is briefAnd once the page is readAll but love is deadThis is my belief
Oh, and yes, I know how lonely life can beWhen shadows follow me and the night won’t set me freeBut I don’t let the evening get me downNow that you’re around me, now you know
Thank youThank you very much
