To Live, To Love

Just when I thought my life was in trouble
I turned around and you were there on the double
No matter what goes right of wrong
You have been the one I could count on
Because of you I learned to live, to love

There has been many to stand in my way
For some reason I managed to get through the day
They say to live is to love
This is the one thing you look for from above
Remember, because of you I learned to live, to love

Keep in mind all the things we share
All the ways you show me that you care
As time goes on our love grows strong
Wonder if it's enough to carry on
Because of you I learned to live, to love
