I Love You Because lyrics
by John Prine
I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you
No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all, I love you 'cause you're you
I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm a-walkin' by your side
I love you because the future is brighter
And the door to happiness, you opened wide
No matter what may be the style or season
I know your heart will always be true
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all, I love you 'cause you're you
