You ask me
Why I love you
I answer
How can I answer that when everyday I find something new?

I love you
Because you are sweet
Sweet as can be
Without you I would not be complete

I love you
Because you are daring
My daredevil
That dares to keep my heart from tearing

I love you
Because you are loyal
Kind of like a dog
Even if you sometimes make my blood boil

I love you
Because you are mine
My best friend
Together we shine

I love you
Because you aren’t just a fling
Unlike the others
You make my heart sing

You ask me
Why I love you
I answer
How can I answer that when everyday I find something new?
