Joe Ely - That's Why I Love You Like I Do Lyrics

Because you walked - that lonesome valley
Because I met - you in your town
Because you saw - stars in the alley
Because the street - light, you, did crown

Because I saw - you lift your head
Because you knew - I was watching you
Because there was - nothing to be said
Thats why I love - you like I do

I am a stranger to the others
No one knows - you like I do
To the Great Beyond -There is no farther
Thats why I love - you like I do...

Because I asked - if you were cold
Because the wind - had changed that day
Because you needed - a hand to hold
Because I saw - it in your face

Because you knew - I needed laughter
Because it heals - the wounded fool
Because you saw - the near hereafter
Thats why I love - you like I do

I am a stranger to the others
No one knows - you like I do
To the Great Beyond -There is no farther
Thats why I love - you like I do...

Because the charms - You thought youd hidden
In spite of pride, - Came shinin thru
Because you knew - that I was not kiddin
When I said that I -- could see through you

Because I knew - that you had diamonds
Inside youre soul - where the wild winds blew
Because I thought -- I was a miner
Thats why I love - you like I do

I am a stranger to the others
No one knows - you like I do
To the Great Beyond -There is no farther
Thats why I love - you like I do...
