I love You because - 1964

Denna sång sjöng min far för mig och mina syskon, ibland istället för en godnatt saga, ackompangerad av sig själv på sin gitarr. Naturligtvis återspeglar sången även hans kärlek för vår mor.

I love you because you understand dear
every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand dear
I love you most of all because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always se me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me,
But most of all I love you because you're you

I love you because my heart is lighter
every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness you've opened wide

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But I love you because you're you
