Since I met you
You’ve been there for me.
You’ve made me feel better—
Fixed my heart for free.
Recently, when I was upset
With and by my family;
While the tears fell,
You listened to and consoled me.

Chorus:
That’s why I love you.
That’s why I care.
That’s why I want you
To always be there.
That’s why you mean
Everything to me.
That’s why my love
Is strong as can be.

You’ve offended me,
Made me mad at you.
But I never can stay mad
For more than a minute or two.
I’m angry one moment,
But then you make me smile.
I hate you, then I love you—
All in a short while.

Chorus:
That’s why I love you.
That’s why I care.
That’s why I want you
To always be there.
That’s why you mean
Everything to me.
That’s why my love
Is strong as can be.

You have more faith
Than anyone I know.
In all parts of your life,
Your faith does show.
I’m a better believer now
That I was before you.
As a result of your influence,
My faith is stronger too.

Chorus:
That’s why I love you.
That’s why I care.
That’s why I want you
To always be there.
That’s why you mean
Everything to me.
That’s why my love
Is strong as can be.  ©
