#BECAUSEILOVEYOU


Is it a summer day,

Or a full moon sky?

Or maybe a NYC night

With beautiful buildings and lights

And cars passing by.

 

All I can say is that this love is real

And flows through every vein

Makes my heart throb, my eyes sob

When I see your pain

 

It’s because I love you,

It’s because I love YOU,

Like that summer day, that full moon sky,

Just like that NYC night with lights and cars passing by.

 

“Be mine forever,

And never leave

Because if you do,

Summer might turn to winter,

And the full moon to darkness,

And NYC might sleep,

And then what will be left for me?”

 

And that is where it turns

From love that’s on fire,

And love that burns

 

Don’t be in love and depend

Be each other’s backbone,

Each other’s equal,

Each other’s friend

 

Love does not take away

The day, the sky, the night, the lights

It gives more EVERY. DAY.

“It’s Because I Love You”: that’s the love that’s right.
