Lyrics for Song: I Love You Because
Lyrics for Album: For Loving You (w Bill Anderson) [Decca] [1968]



(Leon Payne)



(I love you for a hundred thousand reasons

But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.)



Why do I love you, I love you not only for what you are

But for what I am when I'm with you

I love you not only for what you've made of yourself

But for what you're making of me.



And why do I love you, I love you because you're helping me

To build from the lumber of my life not a tavern but a temple

From the words of my every day not a reproach but a song.



(I love you because you understand dear

But most of all I love you 'cause you're you.)



I love you for ignorin' the possibilities of a fool in me

And for laying firm hold on the possibilities of a good in me

I love you because you've done more than any creed to make me happy

And you've done it without a word.



And you've done it without a touch

Without even a sign you've done it just by being yourself

(But most of all I love you cause you're you)

Perhaps after all that's what love really is...
