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 evenings 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 the pages read
All but life is dead that is my belief

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 evenings get me down
Now that you're around me and I love you so
