(For loving you for needing you but most of all for loving you For loving you) [ Bill ] For loving you my life is so much richer You've given so much to live for and I never really lived before before loving you (For loving you) [ Jan ] And for loving you my faith is a little stronger For a world that could give you to me couldn't be as bad as it's made out to be There was good there I just could never see before loving you (For loving you for needing you but most of all for loving you for needing you) [ Jan ] And for needing you I feel a whole lot stronger For there's a strength that comes from knowing you need to give up yourself And darling I gave so much of myself loving you (for losing you) [ Bill ] And now I'm losing you and I'm a sadder lonelier man Than I ever thought any man could be But even in my loneliness even as I walk the hunting trail of memory Even for all the pain that I'm feeling right now Never once will I ever regret having had the chance of loving you (loving you)
