AND I LOVE YOU SO

and I love you so • 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
shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
but I don't let the evening take me down
now that you're around me

and you love me too • your thoughts are just for me
you set my spirit free
and 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
shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
but I don't let the evening take me down
now that you're around me
