(Stephen Sondheim) 

from the musical, Passion 





Loving you is not a choice 

It's who I am 

Loving you is not a choice 

Not much reason to rejoice 

But it gives me purpose 

Gives me voice 

to say to the world 

This is why I live 

You are what I live 

This is why I live 





Loving you is why I do the things I do 

Loving you is not in my control 

But loving you I have a goal 

For what's left of my life 

I will live 

and I will die 

for you 





It gives me purpose 

gives me voice 

to say to the world 

This is why I live 

Yes, this is why I live 

Loving you is why I do the things I do 

Loving you is not in my control 

But loving you 

I have a goal 

for what's left of my life 

I will live 

and I will die 

for you 





I will live 

and I will die 

for you
