Eileen Manassian Poet Lyric

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
