(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
|
