Because
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Looking for a lover to be my lady and my friend
You gave me direction and you were there through thick and thin
Because of your love baby I'm back on my feet again, again
I never knew that you would be
The one to fall in love with me
But now I know that I am blessed
You showed me love and tenderness
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
I was a warrior, at war with the world around me
Then I realized that love's the reason that we live
And you were the savior that made me see that I could win
Cause when somebody loves you, you have so much more to give
I never knew that you would be
The one to fall in love with me
But now I know that I am blessed
You showed me love and tenderness
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
Because of the love that you've given to me
Baby once I was blind, but now I can see
I was lost, but I'm found and my spirit is free
All because of your love
