Carla Thomas — I Loved You Like I Love My Very Life

[Chorus] I loved you like I love my very life Now there's no reason to go on I loved you like I love my very life [Verse 1] You’re gone Hey, did you ever wake up Wondering why you woke up at all? Did you ever feel nothing's real So, why get up to take another fall [Chorus] I loved you like I love my very life Now there's no reason to go on I loved you like I love my very life [Verse 2] What’s the use of me foolin' myself No matter what I keep tellin' myself You're gone [Bridge] And, woe, how it hurts to swallow As the tears roll slowly down my face Where are happy days and love that stays? And how does one of our souls find a place? [Chorus] I loved you like I love my very life Now there's no reason to go on I loved you like I love my very life [Verse 3] What's the use of me foolin' myself No matter what I keep tellin' myself You’re gone [Outro] I loved you like I love my very life Now there’s no reason to go on I loved you like I love my very life
