That's Why I Love You Like I Do Lyrics - Streets Of Sin - Joe Ely

Because you walked - that lonesome valley 

Because I met - you in your town 

Because you saw - stars in the alley 

When the street - light, you, did crown 

Because I saw - you lift your head 

Because you knew - I was watching you 

Because there was - nothing to be said 

Thats why I love - you like I do 

I am a stranger to the others 

No one knows - you like I do 

To the Great Beyond -There is no farther 

Thats why I love - you like I do... 

Because I asked - if you were cold 

Because the wind - had changed that day 

Because you needed - a hand to hold 

Because I saw - it in your face 

Because you knew - I needed laughter 

Because it heals - the wounded fool 

Because you saw - the near hereafter 

Thats why I love - you like I do 

I am a stranger to the others 

No one knows - you like I do 

To the Great Beyond -There is no farther 

Thats why I love - you like I do... 

Because the charms - You thought youd hidden 

In spite of pride, - Came shinin thru 

Because you knew - that I was not kiddin 

When I said that I -- could see through you 

Because I knew - that you had diamonds 

Inside youre soul - where the wild winds blew 

Because I thought -- I was a miner 

Thats why I love - you like I do 

I am a stranger to the others 

No one knows - you like I do 

To the Great Beyond -There is no farther 

Thats why I love - you like I do...
