Because I Love You Lyrics by Buddy Holly

Reminiscing

1963

[Verse 1]
Well they say what you don't know won't hurt you
And I believe that it's so
So don't tell me that you found someone new
To go thru life with you
[Chorus]
Because I love you my darling, my dearest I love you
You're the one I want nearest, may I love you
And I will bet you love me too
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
Than to go on thru life without you
And you with someone new
To go thru life with you
[Chorus]
Well, because I love you, I love you, my darling
My dearest I love you, I love you
You're the one I want nearest, may I love you, I love you
[Verse 3]
And I will bet you love me too
Oh, I'd rather die thinking you love me
Than to go on thru life without you
And you with someone new
To go thru life with you
