You're the Reason I'm in Love

(You're the reason, you're the reason
You're the reason I'm in love.)
You're the reason I'm in love
You're my shining star above
You're my every dream come true
That's why I love you like I do.
Adam shared his love with Eve
Some may doubt but I believe
I would give my life for you
That's why I love you like I do.
(I would give my life for you)
That's why I love you like I do.
You're the reason I'm in love
You're my shining star above
You're my every dream come true
That's why I love you like I do.
Yes, you're the reason I'm in love...
