Why did I choose you?_____ What did I see in you?______
I saw the heart you hide so well;_____
I saw a qui-et girl_____ who had__ a gent - tle way.___
A way that caught me in its glow - ing spell.______

Why did I want you?____ What could you off-er me?_____
A love to last a life-time through._________
And when I lost__ me heart____ so man-y years__ a-go.___
I lost it lov-ing-ly and will-ing-ly to you._____
If I had__ to choose__ a-gain,____ I would still choose you.____
