Why do I love you? I love you not only for what you are but for what I am What I am with you, I love you not only For what you have made of yourself But for what you're making of me I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me And for laying firm hold of the possibilities of the good in me ♪ Why do I love you? I love you for closing your eyes to the evil in me And for adding to the good in me By worship or listening Darling, I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life Not a tavern, but a temple and of the words of my everyday Not a reproach, but a song ♪ I love you because you've done more than any creed to make me happy And honey, you have done it without a word, without a touch, without a sign Sweetheart, you have done it just being yourself Perhaps, perhaps after all that darling that's what love means
