Lyrics

Because of You

[Verse: k.d. lang & Tony Bennett]

Because of you, there's a song in my heart

Because of you, my romance had its start

Because of you, the sun will shine

The moon and stars will say you're mine

Forever and never to part

[Chorus: Tony Bennett, k.d. lang & Both]

I only live for your love and your kiss

It's paradise to be near you like this

Because of you, my life is now worthwhile

And I can smile because of you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Tony Bennett, k.d. lang & Both]

I only live for your love and your kiss

It's paradise to be near you like this

Because of you, my life is now worthwhile

And I can smilе because of you
