I see them now
As my eyes I close
Your lips I taste
As if for the last time
Do I love you because you are beautiful
Or just because you love me
Do I hold you close
Just to fill the emptiness
Of which has grown so deep
Do I love you
Yes I do
I see it now
As it leaves its home behind the glass
I see it now
Do I love you because you are beautiful
Or just because you love me
Do I hold you close
Just to fill the emptiness
Of which has grown so deep
Do I love you because they say I’m to die
No
I love you because you are so special to me
Because thine smile
Brings me sunshine
I want to marry you
So I can hold you close forever and always show I care
But to do so
I risk giving up
The one price I never thought to pay
My life
But because I Love you
I’d have it no other way
