Lyrics

BECAUSE YOU LOVE HER

Writer: Peter Niedmann

VERSE
Watching me fumble with my necktie,
Going out to dinner on our tenth anniversary,
My son says, "Mama looks just like a princess.
Is that why you picked her to marry?"
Son, your mama's sure a beauty,
All the boys hoped she'd move on from me.
But love's about the inside, beauty's just skin deep,
Just wait 'til you're bigger--you'll see.

CHORUS
You don't love a woman 'cause she's beautiful,
She's beautiful because you love her.
It's the way she says your name that turns a spark to flame,
And a soft touch that feels like no other.
I never got all the answers to the questions in my life,
But there's one thing I discovered--
You don't love a woman 'cause she's beautiful,
She's beautiful because you love her.

VERSE
The waiter pours our wine and compliments my wife:
"Ma'am, you're looking lovely this evening."
Now he can only see that pretty face and pearls,
But it's her heart of gold I'm seeing.

CHORUS

BRIDGE
We both still act like a couple of kids
And I'm still crazy 'bout my bride.
And heading down that road when we start getting old,
Our love'll keep us young on the inside.

CHORUS
