because i love you

Dolly Parton

I lie in bed beside you and watch you while you sleep
And wonder who I was before I loved you
Lying here beside you feeling so complete
Thinking how I love and need and trust you
Because I love you I'm a brand new person now because you love me
I can face the world and have the cause I love you
Because you love me because I love you

[ strings ]

Sweeter even still is knowing that you're lying there
And let you soon awake and reach to hold me
And anyway you want me that's the way that I am yours
Love as strong as this lets you control me

Because I love you...

Because I love you...
