Because You Loved Me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
because you loved me

This was my song for Tammy, and I often sang it to her. After she died I had to go into hospital. For the first time ever I did not want to go home - a home without my Tammy. On the morning of my discharge I sat in front of the hospital wash basin with tears streaming down my face, and I started to sing this song to myself, over and over again
