John Prine — I Love You Because

I love you because you understand, dear Every single thing I try to do You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear I love you most of all because you're you No matter what the world may say about me I know your love will always see me through I love you for the way you never doubt me But most of all, I love you 'cause you're you I love you because my heart is lighter Every time I'm a-walkin' by your side I love you because the future is brighter And the door to happiness, you opened wide No matter what may be the style or season I know your heart will always be true I love you for a hundred thousand reasons But most of all, I love you 'cause you're you
