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.
