Lyric
And I love you soThe people ask me howHow I’ve lived till 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 beThe shadows follow me ‘n’ 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 a page is readAll but life is deadThat is my belief
And yes, I know how lonely life can beThe 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
