I got your letter from postman just the other day
So I decided to write you this song
And just to let you know Exactly the way I feel
To let you know my love for real

Because I love you, and I'll do anything
I'll give you my Heart, my everything
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
To be your light to be your guide

If you should feel that I don't really care
And that you're starting to lose ground
Just let me reassure you that you can count on me
And that I'll always be around

Because I love you, my heart's an open door
Girl I want you please come on near
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
To be your light to be your guide

If you should feel that I don't really care
And that you're starting to lose your ground
Just let me reassure you that you can count on me
Stevie B will always be around

Because I love you my heart's an open door
Girl I want you please come on near
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side
To be your light to be your guide
