Lyrics
(Intro)
All because of you…
(Verse 1)
I was born to love, only you
And everything I do
Is all because of you
(Chorus)
You’re my sun, you’re my rain
You’re the one, you’re the pain
You’re my joy, you’re my strife
You’re the one, my whole life
Is all because of you, oh, yeah
(Verse 2)
Every word I say, every time I pray
Every step I take
Is all because of you
Every thought I think, every dream I dream
And all the love I bring
Is all because of you
(Chorus)
You’re my sun, you’re my rain
You’re the one, you’re the pain
You’re my joy, you’re my strife
You’re the one, my whole life
Is all because of you, ooh, oh, baby
(Bridge)
You’re the reason why I wake up in the morning
With a smile on my face
You’re the reason why I go on and on
In this crazy place
(Verse 3)
Every word I say, every time I pray
Every step I take
Is all because of you
Every thought I think, every dream I dream
And all the love I bring
Is all because of you, oh, yeah
(Chorus)
You’re my sun, you’re my rain
You’re the one, you’re the pain
You’re my joy, you’re my strife
You’re the one, my whole life
Is all because of you, ooh, yeah
(Outro)
Oh, yeah
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
