And I love her 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 as could be.

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but life is dead.
And 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 
Around me.
