David Suntory - Because You Loved Me

I was walking in the shadows,
Couldn’t see the light of day.
Every dream I tried to follow
Somehow just slipped away.
But then you came and found me,
Pulled me from the cold.
You gave my life a meaning,
You gave me a hand to hold.

Because you love me,
I learned how to stand tall.
Because you love me,
I can rise after the fall.
Through the heartache and the sorrow,
Through the nights I thought I’d drown—
Because you love me,
I turned my life around.

The blues were heavy on my shoulders,
The night kept calling my name.
Whiskey glass upon the table—
But nothing ever eased the pain.
Then your arms became my shelter,
Your voice my sweetest song.
Because you loved me, baby,
I knew where I belonged.

Because you love me,
I found the strength inside.
Because you love me,
I no longer have to hide.
Through the silence, through the thunder,
Through the tears I couldn’t find—
Because you love me,
I see the morning light.

When the world turned its back on me,
You stayed right by my side.
Every broken piece you mended,
Every storm you held me tight.
You showed me what it means
To finally breathe, to finally be free.
Yes darlin’, I’m the man I am
Because you believed in me.

And it ain’t about the glory,
It ain’t about the fame—
This song is gratitude
And it carries your sweet name.
So let the whole world listen,
Let the truth be known:
Every step that I have taken,
I never walked alone.

Because you love me,
I learned how to stand tall.
Because you love me,
I can rise after the fall.
Through the dark and stormy weather,
Through the nights I almost drowned—
Because you love me,
I turned my life around.

Because you love me…
Yes, because you love me…
I’m alive—
Because you love me.
