And I Love You So

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.
