Barbara Cook, John Raitt - Why Do I Love You? Lyrics

I'm walking on the air, dear
For life is fair, dear
To lovers
I'm in the seventh heaven

In this sweet, improbable and unreal world
Finding you has given me my ideal world

Why do I love you?
Why do you love me?

Why should there be two
Happy as we?

Can you see
The why or wherefore
I should be
The one you care for?

You're a lucky boy
I am lucky too

All our dreams of joy
Seem to come true
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you

Why do I love you?
Why do you love me?
Why should there be two
Happy as we?
Can you see
The why or wherefore
I should be
The one you care for?
You're a lucky boy
I am lucky, too
All our dreams of joy
Seem to come true
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you

Darling, I have only
Just an hour to play

I am always lonely
When you go away

Hours are not like years
So dry your tears!
What a pair of lovebirds!

My darling,
I'll come home as early as I can
Meanwhile be good and patient with your man
Why do I love you?

Why do you love me?

Why should there be two
Happy as we?
Can you see
The why or wherefore
I should be
The one you care for?
You're a lucky boy
I am lucky, too
All our dreams of joy
Seem to come true
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you!

You're a lucky boy!
I am lucky, too
All our dreams of joy
Seem to come true
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you!

Why do I love you?
Why do you love me?
Why should there be two
Happy as we?
Can you see
The why or wherefore
I should be
The one you care for?
I'm a lucky boy
You are lucky, too
All our dreams of joy
Seem to come true!
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you!

You're a lucky boy!
I am lucky too!
All our dreams of joy
Seem to come true!
Maybe that's because you love me
Maybe that's why I love you!
