For You Lyrics
For you
I sing this song
I’ll right the wrong
For you
I climb that hill
To fight on still
Just to show you

For though
They see me sad
They say I’m bad
For though
They just don’t know
I cannot show
They just don’t know

How much I love you
How much I love you
How much I love you

For when
I feel alone
It’s you I phone
For when
I’ve lost it all
Why don’t you call?
Answer me

For now
Our true love calls
And tear drops fall
For now
I just don’t care
When people stare

Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you

Take my hand, we’ll walk through time
We’ll show them all, that there’s no lines
That dare to keep, us far apart
You’re my breath, you’re the beat of my heart

For love
I’d be a monk
I’d be a punk
For love
I’d shave my hair
I’d dye it fair
Just to please you

Forget
Things I’ve forgot
But please do not
Forget
The times we had
The words we said

Because I love you
Because I love you
Because I love you

Forgive
This foolish man
I hope you can
Forgive
The things I’ve done
To everyone
Including you

For all
That people say
I wish you’d stay
For all
The world to see
That you’re with me

You know I love you
You know I love you
How much I love you

Paul Robert Thomas
