I Will Love You
Shirley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you loved me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is there
That is my believe
And yes, I know
How loveless life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

And I love you so
I love you deeply and passionately
The people ask me how
People inquire how I have managed to survive without you
How I've lived till now
How I have been able to endure life without your love
I tell them I don't know
I am unable to answer as I also don't know
I guess they understand
I feel they comprehend the loneliness that I experience
How lonely life has been
Life has been miserable without you
But life began again
But all that changed, now life has felt rejuvenated
The day you took my hand
The day you arrived and held my hand, things became better
And yes, I know
I am aware
How lonely life can be
I comprehend how miserable life is without love
The shadows follow me
Sadness and woes haunt me
And the night won't set me free
Darkness doesn't dispel my negative feelings
But I don't let the evening get me down
But I don't allow the sadness to keep me in the dark
Now that you're around me
Now that you're here, my spirit is lifted
And you loved me too
You also love me
Your thoughts are just for me
You're always thinking about me
You set my spirit free
Being with you liberates my soul
I'm happy that you do
I am grateful for the joy you give me
The book of life is brief
Life is too short
And once a page is read
Once an event has happened, we can't go back in time
All but love is there
Everything else in life is insignificant compared to love
That is my believe
That's what I believe in
