Without the words to fall back on
I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe
And if I tried, I'd probably steer you wrong
Cause a thousand phrases would never say
How I feel today
And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
I love

I love you just because
