Because Of You
Tracie Spencer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your love goes with me
It surrounds me everywhere that I go
No matter where you are
Your heart is here with me

I wanna tell you that I'm with you tonight
Though you're not here
I can see that lovely smile on your face
And feel the touch of you and know I'm missing you
I'll make it true one more day

Because of you, there is nothing I can't do
And each test life puts me through
I'll get by because of you, because of you

You make love easy
You take pleasure in each thing that I do
You give unselfishly
And the gift you gave is you

I'm gonna dedicate the rest of my life giving back to you
All the trust and faith that you've given me
I've learned so much from you to show my gratitude
I'll be the best for you I can be

Because of you, there is nothing I can't do
And each test life puts me through
I'll get by because of you

With you on my side, I am free to try and fly
Every mountain I can find
I have seen love at each day because of you
Because of you

Mama, I wanna thank you for all the wonderful things you do
For being there whenever I needed you
With the love that would last forever
And mama, I'm away from you now
But never, never in my heart

Because of you, there is nothing I can't do
And each test life puts me through
I'll get by because of you, because of you





With you by my side
