Verse 2

Beauty I'd always missed

With these eyes before

Just what the truth is

I can't say anymore

Chorus 1

'Cause I love you

Yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you

Verse 3

Gazing at people

Some hand in hand

Just what I'm going through

They can't understand

Verse 4

Some try to tell me

Thoughts they cannot defend

Just what you want to be

You will be in the end

Chorus 2

And I love you

Yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you
