Lyrics

Verse I
When I found you, How I Loved you
Nothing I wouldn't do
Till you made me give up everything for you
There's different kinds of love
That you can't measure
Still you treasure too
I just couldn't give up everything for you

Bridge
I tried so hard to may you happy
But a selfish love can't live
You never knew the kind of love it takes
That makes you want to give

Verse 2
And thought I'm blue and lonely
For you only, in my heart I knew
I just couldn't give up everything for you.

Instrumental
