Because Of You [Tony Bennett cover]
Kelly Clarkson · Other Songs - Kelly Clarkson
There's a song in my heart
Because of you
My romance had its start
Because of you
Sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to part
I only live for your love
And your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you
My life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you
[instrumental break]
I only live for your love
And your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you
My life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you
