You’re the Reason (feat. Verlon Thompson, guitar)
You are the reason my heart feels warm at night.
You turn the lights out and lie down by my side.
If I hadn’t seen your eyes or felt your heart so close to mine,
I wouldn’t know that love is kind you’re the reason.
My friend and lover you turned my life around.
You are the reason I can laugh so loud.
I’ve wondered who I’d be, If you weren’t a part of me.
I know the joy that love can be. You’re the reason.
Chorus:
My success sometimes elusive
With all of my excuses. I’ve felt hopeless
But the truth is, that never once included
Our ever-growing love so right
That lifts my heart, and warms Soul each night.
I’ve won in love and in life. You’re the reason.
You are the reason, I know my love won’t die
Cause when I leave here I’m standing by your side
The last time I close my eyes. My last breath and my last sigh
The last time we say goodbye I’ll know why I was Alive,
You’re the reason.
