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 'n' 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 life is dead This is my belief And yes, I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me 'n' the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me
