I Love You A Thousand Ways
Willie Nelson / Merle Haggard / Ray Price Lyrics

The song "I Love You Because," performed by Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Ray Price, is a heartfelt declaration of love with a promise to prove it through actions. The opening lines express the singer's determination to demonstrate their love in the future. The next lines emphasize the importance of this love, highlighting the fact that the singer has been lonely since their loved one's departure. The lyrics plead with the loved one to wait until the singer is free, as they promise to bring about a change in themselves, to remove any obstacles to their love.

The chorus, repeated three times, assures the object of the singer's love that they will never be blue again. The singer explains that they will prove their love through countless acts of affection, promising to be nice and sweet, and to demonstrate their love in every way possible. The use of the word "prove" emphasizes the singer's determination and sincerity, and the repetition of the phrase "I love you" reinforces the importance of these words to the singer.

This song is a beautiful ode to love, promising to go beyond mere words and into the realm of action. It speaks to the human desire for connection and the lengths that one is willing to go for the sake of love.
