Of all the reasons

I’ve got for breathing

The most appealing

Is your dear face

To watch you sleep and to

Guess your dreams is 

The undeniable reason I’m still awake.


It’s really you

Not the memory of you

Not the idea of you

But really you

I feel so fortunate

I get to be here

Watching you

The clever things you do.


Honestly,

I see no purpose being somewhere else

Doing some old thing

Here and now

You're all of that and more than ever.

It's really you

Plus the little you I knew

Looking back at me

(When) I look at you.


I feel so fortunate

Standing beside you

Proud of you

And what you’ve grown into

Honestly,

I see no purpose being somewhere else

Doing some old thing

Here and now

You're all of that and more than ever.


It's really you

(What with) All that we've been through

Though we fuss and fight

It's always you

I got so fortunate

Picking the first one

Long ago

But who'd a-thunk it, though.

I see no purpose being somewhere else

Doing some old thing

Here and now

You're all of that and more than ever.
