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

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."
