Reason to Be

Don Williams · 36 All Time Greatest Hits [2006]

First I was love, then I came to be

I had a heart inside of me

And though my heart was working I found

Still there was something it had not found.



So I went away hoping to see

Maybe I'd find what's missing in me

Knowing so well but not knowing why

If I didn't find this something I'd die.



--- Instrumental ---



And then I came to where I had been

I knew the first was still not the end

What I had left was not what I found

Because there was you, because there I found.



First I was love, then I came to be

I had a heart inside of me

And though my heart is still part of me

You give my heart it's reason to be...
