I was never much at findin words to say what's on my mind,
even dare describe what you mean to me, would take a whole lifetime
so if it don't come out like shakespeare, or perfect poetry
well just remember this, you're the only reason for me

who I am, and what I'm for, and why I'm here it ain't a mystery no more
you're(you are) the power behind my every dream
you're the only reason for me

diamonds and gold treasures untold once beheld this heart of mine
riches of the earth carry no worth if the soul's left unsatisfied
ain't the years that's made the difference, in the man this world now sees
it's you, it's you, just you
you're the only reason for me

*short instrumental*
you're the only reason for me
