Lyrics
BECAUSE OF YOU
by Joi Veer
Each day I wake, and look out into a world without you.
One I could not fathom, so indifferent and alone.
River of tears led me here, gleaming with reflections.
Little voice still ringing, strikes a chord in me.
I do the things I do - I say the things I say.
I feel the way I feel - All BECAUSE OF YOU.
Like a child holding on to a favorite pillow,
I find myself still clutching each tender memory.
I venture out into the dark, always have your wisdom,
Guided by the nightlight that you kept on for me.
I do the things I do - I say the things I say.
I feel the way I feel - All BECAUSE OF YOU.
I live the way I live - I am the way I am.
I love the way I love - All BECAUSE OF YOU.
I'd give anything I have just to hear you laugh.
I'd give everything I have, and that's not even half
Of the love you've given me.
Where are you now, little voice, still talking to me?
Whispering so gently, but I can't see your face.
I do the things I do - I say the things I say.
I feel the way I feel - All BECAUSE OF YOU.
I live the way I live - I am the way I am.
I love the way I love - All BECAUSE OF YOU.
I do the things I do - I say the things I say.
I feel the way I feel - All BECAUSE OF YOU.
All BECAUSE OF YOU - Yeah - All BECAUSE OF YOU
All BECAUSE OF YOU - Yeah - All BECAUSE OF YOU
