Because you walked — that lonesome valley
Because I met — you in your town
Because you saw — stars in the alley
Because the street — light, you, did crown
Because I saw — you lift your head
Because you knew — I was watching you
Because there was — nothing to be said
Thats why I love — you like I do
I am a stranger to the others
No one knows — you like I do
To the Great Beyond -There is no farther
Thats why I love — you like I do…
Because I asked — if you were cold
Because the wind — had changed that day
Because you needed — a hand to hold
Because I saw — it in your face
Because you knew — I needed laughter
Because it heals — the wounded fool
Because you saw — the near hereafter
Thats why I love — you like I do
I am a stranger to the others
No one knows — you like I do
To the Great Beyond -There is no farther
Thats why I love — you like I do…
Because the charms — You thought youd hidden
In spite of pride, — Came shinin thru
Because you knew — that I was not kiddin
When I said that I — could see through you
Because I knew — that you had diamonds
Inside youre soul — where the wild winds blew
Because I thought — I was a miner
Thats why I love — you like I do
I am a stranger to the others
No one knows — you like I do
To the Great Beyond -There is no farther
Thats why I love — you like I do…
