The Reason (Forever)

[Verse 1] One time you were the angel in my life The sheer beauty you had was like no others I could have had the best man to love that ever walked this earth But I hesitated And in a snap of a moment You were gone [Chorus] (Ooh) how I loved you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I lived on [Chorus] (Ooh) how I loved you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I did not die [Instrumental] [Verse 2] But fear took hold and I backed away Even when you tried to get close to me And I shouted high, hidden in the dark I cried the rivers going deep and wide [Chorus] (Ooh) how I loved you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I lived on [Chorus] (Ooh) how I loved you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I did not die [Verse 3] A year was slow but happy The moments near you were so fine The cuddles and smiles beside you Probably some of the best times of my life But I hesitated Held back from making it swell It could have been even better than what it was [Chorus] (Ooh) how I loved you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I did not die [Chorus] (Ooh) how I loved you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I did not die [Bridge] I could have been sitting here Beside you Right now in this time Being my husband The love of my life Because back then You truly loved me more Than I ever thought Was possible And now I understand How fiercely a fire Of love can burn because The love I have for you Still burns strong Now you're gone I still know you But my chance is lost, it's time to move on But I'm stuck In my bitter past Still loving you Good God I do [Chorus] Still how I love you (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I did not die [Outro] (Ooh) how I love (Ooh) I truly did love you You were the reason I did Not die You are still The reason Though I lost you
