I was never much at findin' words   To say what's on my mind   Even dare describe what you mean to me   Would take a whole lifetime      So if it don't come out like Shakespeare   Or perfect poetry   Well just remember this   You're the only reason for me      Who I am and what I'm for   And why I'm here, it ain't a mystery no more   You're the power behind my every dream   You're the only reason for me      Diamonds and gold treasures untold   Once beheld this heart of mine   Riches of the earth carry no worth   If the soul's left unsatisfied      Ain't the years that's made the difference   In the man this world now sees   It's you, it's you, just you   You're the only reason for me      Who I am and what I'm for   And why I'm here, it ain't a mystery no more   You're the power behind my every dream   You're the only reason for me   You're the only reason for me
