Because
Perry Como Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because, you come to me
With naught save love
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above
A wider world of hope and joy I see
Because you come to me!

Because you speak to me in accent sweet
I find the roses waking 'round my feet
And I am led through tears and joy to thee
Because you speak to me!

Because God made thee mine
I'll cherish thee
Through light and darkness through all time to be




And pray His love may make our love divine
Because God made thee mine!

Such a beautiful performance of this great song by this magnificent singer.The way he conveys the feeling and emotion with his beautiful voice is just brilliant.The way he glides from the softest notes to the loudest is really quite wonderful.So melodic throughout.Never fails to move me when I listen to him sing.Just superb in every way.

Michael Kinnard

I play this song that was recorded in 1956, the year I married my wife who passed away in February. Never a day passes when I don't think of our love. I m struggling to live without her. I play Perry Como songs for her, they say every, thing I feel for her, God Bless see you soon.

Mike, I am 61 years old and was married for 31 years. My husband passed away 3 years ago . I recently became engaged to a man who was married for 44 years. And lost his wife two years ago today. I feel your pain and your joy. I am planning on using this song for our wedding. It speaks volumes. I didn't think I would ever find happiness again. Although it is still very different. It fills a very very huge hole that I had in my heart. May God bless you and keep you strong. Don't ever give up! All my blessings, Dee

Angela P

Oh I'm so sorry Michael you'll always have beautiful memories of your wife always keep those and smile and cry when you have to...memories are forever ❤❤
