Intro

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.

 Adlib: ------

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.
