Because of Love

Whenever I’m in pain, my little sister

Gives me a teddy bear to hold

And I smile

Because she loves me

Whenever I feel the world crashing down around me, my father

Gives me hot cocoa to drink

And I smile

Because he loves me

Whenever I’m laying face-down in despair, my kitten

Gives me a wink and a purr

And I smile

Because she loves me

Whenever I wonder about the point of it all, my friends

Give me a hand to hold

And I smile

Because they love me

Whenever you’re sad or lost or confused, I

Give you everything you ask for

And you smile

Because I love you

Whenever I’m left alone, when you’re gone, I

Tell myself that you’re right and I’m wrong

And I cry

Because you love me
