COMPLETE INTRO:
STANZA 1:
There I was an empty piece of a shell,
Just mindin' my own world;
Without even knowin' what love and life were all about.
STANZA 2:
Then you came,
You brought me out of the shell;
You gave the world to me
And before I knew,
There I was so in love with you.
REFRAIN:
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
STANZA 3:
I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good
STANZA 4:
And I'm sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world;
And take all my cares away with the aching part of me.
REFRAIN TO CODA:
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
CODA:
(M7)
You taught me how to love,
You showed me how tomorrow and
today my life is diff'rent from the yesterday;
And you, you taught me to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever.
INTERLUDE: Am7 Dm Am7 Dm C#m7
STANZA 5:
And I'm sure when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before;
My love, who could ask for more?
REFRAIN:
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
When I met you----.
REFRAIN TO ENDING:
You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing

And it all began when I met you----.
When I met you.
