[Verse 1]
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know

[Verse 2]
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

[Chorus]
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
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

[Verse 3]
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirits free
I'm happy that you do

[Verse 4]
The book of life is brief
Once the page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
[Chorus]
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
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
