Lyrics
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 bring 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
This 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 get 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”
