Why do I love you?
I love you not only for what you are
But for what I am when I am with you
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself
But for what you are making of me
I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold of the possibilities of the good in me
[Instrumental]
Why do I love you?
I love you for closing your eyes to the discords in me
And for adding to the music in me
By wishful listening
Oh honey, I love you because you're helping me to make up a number of my life
Not a tavern, mmm, but a temple
And of the words of my everyday
Not a reapproach
But a form
[Instrumental]
I love you because
Oh I love you because you've done more than cree
To make me happy
And honey, you have done it without a word
Without a touch, without a sign
Sweetheart, you have done it just being yourself
Perhaps, perhaps after all
Darling, that's what love means
