You ask me why I love you
I was asked so I tried to answer in one of the
ways I knew how I could maybe explain.

For MaryMo

You ask me why I love you. What can I say?
How can I answer that question?
Ask me why I need my breath. I can tell you why.
Without my breath I would die.
Ask me why I love you. I would answer the same way.
You ask me why I love you. What can I say?
How can I answer that question?
Ask me why I need water. I can tell you why.
Without water I would die.
Ask me why I love you. I would answer the same way.
You ask me why I love you. What can I say.
How can I answer that question?
Ask me why I need food. I can tell you why.
Without food I would die.
Ask me why I love you. I would answer the same way.
You ask me why I love you.
And that is how I would tell you why.
