(For loving you for needing you but most of all for loving you For loving you)
[ Bill ]
For loving you my life is so much richer
You've given so much to live for and I never really lived before before loving you
(For loving you)
[ Jan ]
And for loving you my faith is a little stronger
For a world that could give you to me couldn't be as bad as it's made out to be
There was good there I just could never see before loving you
(For loving you for needing you but most of all for loving you for needing you)
[ Jan ]
And for needing you I feel a whole lot stronger
For there's a strength that comes from knowing you need to give up yourself
And darling I gave so much of myself loving you (for losing you)
[ Bill ]
And now I'm losing you and I'm a sadder lonelier man 
Than I ever thought any man could be
But even in my loneliness even as I walk the hunting trail of memory
Even for all the pain that I'm feeling right now
Never once will I ever regret having had the chance of loving you (loving you)
