And I Love You So - Don Mclean

And I love you so People ask me how How I've lived 'til now I tell them I don't know I guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes, I know how lonely life can be When Shadows follow me and the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief And once the page is read All but love is dead This is my belief Oh, and yes, I know how lonely life can be When shadows follow me and the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me, now you know Thank you Thank you very much

(D. McClean) And I'll love you so The people ask me how How I lived till now, I tell them I don't know I guess they understand how lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes, I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free But I don't let the evenings get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The Book of Life is brief And once a page is read All the love is dead That is my belief And yes, I know how loveless life can be The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free But I don't let the evenings get me down Now that you're around me And I love you so The people ask me how How I lived till now, I tell them I don't know

And I love you so People ask me how How I've lived 'til now I tell them I don't know Guess they understand How lonely life has been But life began again The day you took my hand And yes I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me And you love me too Your thoughts are just for me You set my spirit free I'm happy that you do The book of life is brief And once the page is read All but love is dead That is my belief And yes I know how lonely life can be The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free But I don't let the evening get me down Now that you're around me Thank you Bona salute Let's clear up one thing or two For those of you who're concerned This is just pure water And is it awful? No, it's not so bad I just feel I owe it to you not to drink before or during the show But after the show I give it a few shots, you know I'm sure you got drink a little, relax, you know

I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know We all slow down How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? How you gonna keep from turning your life away? No days you can borrow, no time you can buy. No trust in tomorrow. It's a lie. I feel like a spinning top or a Dreidel The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle You just slow down Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know We all slow down How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? How you gonna keep from turning your life away? And I feel like I'm dippin' and divin'. My sky shoes are spiked with lead heels. I'm lost in this star car I'm drivin'. But my air sole keeps pushin' big wheels. My world is a constant confusion. My mind is prepared to attack. My past a persuasive illusion. I'm watchin' the future it's black. What do you know? You know just what you perceive. What can you show? Nothing of what you believe. And as you grow, each thread of life that you leave Will spin around your deeds and dictate your needs As you sell your soul and you sow your seeds And you wound yourself and your loved one bleed And your habits grow, and your conscience feeds On all that you thought you should be I never thought this could happen to me. I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle. You just slow down. Round and around the world you go Spinning through the lives of the people you know. We all slow down. How you gonna keep on turning from day to day? How you gonna keep from turning your life away? Oh. I feel like a spinning top or a dreidel. The spinning don't stop when you leave the cradle. You just slow down.

I was alright for a while I could smile for a while But when I saw you last night You held my hand so tight When you stopped to say 'hello' And though you wished to me well You couldn't tell That I'd been Crying over you Crying over you Then you said to so long Left me standing all alone Alone and crying. Crying Crying Crying It's hard to understand That the touch of your hand Can start me crying I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true I love you even more than I did before But, darling, what can I do? While you don't love me And I'll always be Crying over you Crying over you Yes, now you're gone And from this moment on I'll be crying (Crying) Crying (Crying) Crying (Crying) Crying over you Over you Over you
