You're the reason I'm living You're the breath that I take You're the stars in my heaven You're the sun when I wake You're the reason I'm living You carry me through All of life's little burdens I'd be lost without you A long, long time ago When I was down You picked me up And showed me that true love Still could be found You're the reason I do things You're the things that I do You're the reason I'm livin' I'd be lost without you Tell me again (you're the reason I'm living) Oh, you carry me through All of life's little burdens I'd be lost without you
