BECAUSE OF YOU
Kenny and Amanda Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you because you understand, dear
Every single thing I try to do
You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
I love you most of all because you're you

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through
I love you for the way you never doubt me
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you

I love you because my heart is lighter
Every time I'm walking by your side
I love you because the future's brighter
The door to happiness, you open wide

No matter what the world may say about me
I know your love will always see me through




I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
But most of all I love you 'cause you're you

I just blundered onto this albeit four years late, and all I can say is WOW THANKS and you have made my day I was feeling kinda blue but not any more. I hope all involved are as happy and blessed as they seem

@michaelmullins1290

Went to a concert. Got the blessing of Kenny and Amanda Smith band being there. Praise the Lord. People thought $5 was to much for them and 2 other groups. I spent a hour talking to them. Helped pack up their CDs and merchandise. It was a great day.

@riceflatpicking4954

If the concert was free I swear people would say, well how come we’re not getting paid to watch them? Sigh. Sounds like an amazing day, wish I had been there!

@michaelmullins1290

I heard Kenny & Amanda for the first time today on the Sirius bluegrass radio channel while I was driving. Sounded so good that I actually pulled over to make a note so that I could look them up when I got home. Glad I did, cause I just love this. You two are great!

Kenny has been my favorite guitar player since I first heard him play 15 or so years back, but when he started recording with his lovely and talented wife WOW! what a team. They quickly became my favorite duo. Not just amazing entertainers, but really super people best as I can tell. Thank you to the Chapmans for posting this wonderful concert. BTW John Chapman, you are also one of my favorite guitar players. My Hearts Bouquet off the Follow Me album literally saved my marriage. Thanks for that too!
