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."
