And I Love You So

Harry Belafonte

And I love you so 
Though people ask me how 
How I've 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 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 a page is read 
All but love is dead 
That is my believe 
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 evening bring me down 
Now that you're around me
