Why Do I Love You (melody Of Love) Lyrics - Jim Reeves

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
