Jan Howard "I Love You Because" |
(Leon Payne) (I love you for a hundred thousand reasons But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.) Why do I love you, I love you not only for what you are But for what I am when I'm with you I love you not only for what you've made of yourself But for what you're making of me. And why do I love you, I love you because you're helping me To build from the lumber of my life not a tavern but a temple From the words of my every day not a reproach but a song. (I love you because you understand dear But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.) I love you for ignorin' the possibilities of a fool in me And for laying firm hold on the possibilities of a good in me I love you because you've done more than any creed to make me happy And you've done it without a word. And you've done it without a touch Without even a sign you've done it just by being yourself (But most of all I love you cause you're you) Perhaps after all that's what love really is...
