And I Love You So

And I love you so
 The people ask me how
 How I've lived 'til now
 I tell them I don't know
 I guess they understand
 How lonely life has been
 But life began again
 The day you took my hand
 And, yes, I know how lonely life can be
 The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free
 But I don't let the evening get me down
 Now that you're around me
 And you love me, too
 Your thoughts are just for me
 You set my spirit free
 I'm happy that you do
 The book of life is brief
 And once a page is read
 All but life is dead
 That is my belief
 And, yes, I know how lonely life can be
 The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free
 But I don't let the evening get me down
 Now that you're around me
 And I love you so
 The people ask me how
 How I've lived 'til now
 I tell them, I don't know
