Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 There I was an empty piece of shell

 Just minding my own world

 Without even knowing what love and life were all about

 Then you came

 You brought me out of the shell

 You gave the world to me

 And before I knew

There I was so in love with you

Refrain

You gave me a reason for my being

 And I love what Im feelin

You gave me a meaning to my life

 Yes Im gone beyond existing

And it all began when I met you

Verse 2

(same chords)

I love the touch of your hair

And when I look in ur eyes

I just know, I know im on to something good

And Im sure my love for you will endure

Ur luv will lyt up my world

And take all my cares

Away with the aching part of me

Refrain

You gave me a reason for my being

 And I love what Im feelin

You gave me a meaning to my life

 Yes Im gone beyond existing

And it all began when I met you

You taught me how to love

You showed me how tomorrow and

today my life is different from the yesterday

And you you taught me to love

And darling I will always cherish you

Verse 3

And Im sure when evening comes around

I know well be making love

Like never before

My lvoe who could ask for more

Refrain

You gave me a reason for my being

 And I love what Im feelin

You gave me a meaning to my life

 Yes Im gone beyond existing

You gave me a reason for my being

 And I love what Im feelin

You gave me a meaning to my life

 Yes Im gone beyond existing

And it all began when I met you
