[Verse 1]
Loving you is not a choice
It's who I am
Loving you is not a choice
And not much reason to rejoice
But it gives me purpose
Gives me voice
To say to the world:
This is why I live
You are why I live
[Verse 2]
Loving you is why I do
The things I do
Loving you is not in my control
But loving you I have a goal
For what's left of my life
I will live and I would die
For you
[Bridge]
Everywhere I turn
You are there
Everywhere I look
Things are different
Everything seems right
Everything seems possible
Every moment bursts with feeling
Why is love so easy to give
And so hard to recеive?
However long I livе
I now believe
A thing I never knew:
I'm someone to be loved
And that I learned from you
[Verse 3]
Now at last I see what comes
From being loved
Strange, how merely being loved
You see things clearly
Things I feared
Like the world itself
I now love dearly
I want to live
Now I want to live
Just from being loved
[Verse 4]
All that pain I nursed inside
For all those years
All that vain and bitter self-concern
All those tears and all that pride
Dissolving in the blue
Now that I am loved
And knowing as I do
That I can live and I can die
For you
