A#             Cm
And I love you so.
                   A# Gm
The people ask me how,
                    Cm   D#
How I've lived till now.
                      F  A#
I tell them I don't know.
                Cm
I guess they understand
                     A#  Gm
How lonely life has been.
                 Cm D#
But life began again
                     A#
The day you took my hand.

Chorus:
A#                    Cm
And, yes, I know how lonely life can be.
     D#                         A#
The shadows follow me, and the night
won't set me free.
Gm                      Cm
But I don't let the evening get me down
                       A#
Now that you're around me.

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

Chorus:
And yes, I know how loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them "I don't know"
