They Ask Me Why I Love You

They ask me why I love you I stop and pause a while Could I say that everyday, you gift me with a smile? You're always there beside me No matter what life brings and when you're near, it's all so clear... My heart and my soul sings Chorus: I love you for your beauty and I love you for your grace I love you for each moment that I'm blessed to see your face I love for your kindness and for how you've made me see I love you just for who you are and who you make of me You're like a ray of sunlight that warms my frozen soul your starlit eyes, that twinkle bright is how my heart you stole You're like a rolling river that flows right to my core immersed inside your passion is what makes me long for more Chorus: I love you for your beauty and I love you for your grace I love you for each moment that I'm blessed to see your face I love for your kindness and for how you've made me see I love you just for who you are and who you make of me They ask me why I love you and I don't know what to say the reason that I take each breath is to see you every day... They ask me why I love you.... Eileen Manassian

Thanks, Rick. I want to write, but lately....it's becoming more and more difficult. I wrote a very sensual piece, but I'm not sure it's for this place. Want to give an opinion on it?

Thanks, Tom. I sing...and can play some piano, but I'm not a musician. I tried coming up with a tune for it. I'm still working on it. Thanks for posting.
