I Have Always Loved You Lyrics - Kathy Mattea

I have always been on the outside 

Looking inside 'til I found you 

Never knowin' where my life would lead 

What I could believe 'til you broke through 

Where on earth did you come from? 

It's like I've known you all my life because 

I have laughed and cried 'til my tears ran dry 

I have lived and died a thousand times 

I have won and lost at whatever cost 

But through it all it's true, I have always loved you 

Just the way you smile lights up the day 

And I'm blown away just to be with you 

The way you touched my life with such tenderness 

Words cannot express how you pull me through 

And if I could do it all again 

I'd still reach for you, my love, my friend 

I have laughed and cried 'til my tears ran dry 

I have lived and died a thousand times 

I have won and lost at whatever cost 

But through it all it's true, I have always loved you 

When the night comes closing in 

You're still the light that shines within 

I have laughed and cried 'til my tears ran dry 

I have lived and died a thousand times 

I have won and lost at whatever cost 

But through it all it's true, I have always loved you 

I have always loved you
