YOU’RE THE REASON…

Don’t ask for much in my life,

I just want you by my side.

‘Cause when you look up to me.

Your love’s been all that I need.

                You’re the reason I wake up in the morning,

                You give me strength to face each day

                Sharing joy, sometimes sorrow,

                Always firm in our faith.

Always firm in our faith.

Looking back right from the start,

All of the world was our own.

Everything we touched turned to gold.

And now we are just touching stone.

                So many days we spent laughing together,

                Two hearts beating in time.

                I thank God I have you in my life,

                I am yours and you are mine.

I am yours and you are mine.

                                From the day we first met,

                                My devotion has stayed true.

If I live another hundred years,

I’d want to spend them all with you.

                You’re the reason I wake up in morning,

                You give me strength to face each day.

                Sharing joy sometimes sorrow,

                Always firm in our faith.

Always firm in our faith.

You’re  the reason I wake up in the morning,

You’re the light in my day.

Hand in hand we’ll always be together,

Still in love along the way.

Always in love along the way.
