Jim Reeves - Why Do I Love You (Melody Of Love) lyrics

[Spoken] Why do I love you? I love you not only for what you are But for what I am when I'm with you. I love you not only for what you've made of yourself But for what you're making of me. I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool in me And for laying firm hold of the possibilities for good in me. Why do I love you? I love you for closing your eyes to the dischords And for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening. I love you because you're helping to make of the lumber of My life, not a tavern but a temple, and out of the words Of my everyday not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed To make me happy. You have done it without a word, without a touch, Without a sign. You have done it just by being yourself And after all, perhaps that's what love means...
