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.

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 would live,

And I would die for you.
