I was never much at findin' words To say what's on my mind Even dare describe what you mean to me Would take a whole lifetime So if it don't come out like Shakespeare Or perfect poetry Well just remember this You're the only reason for me Who I am and what I'm for And why I'm here, it ain't a mystery no more You're the power behind my every dream You're the only reason for me Diamonds and gold treasures untold Once beheld this heart of mine Riches of the earth carry no worth If the soul's left unsatisfied Ain't the years that's made the difference In the man this world now sees It's you, it's you, just you You're the only reason for me Who I am and what I'm for And why I'm here, it ain't a mystery no more You're the power behind my every dream You're the only reason for me You're the only reason for me
