Lyrics Kathy Mattea

Kathy Mattea

I Have Always Loved You

I have always been on the outside

Looking inside 'til I found you

Never knowin' where my life would lead

What I could believe 'til you broke through

Where on earth did you come from?

It's like I've known you all my life because

I have laughed and cried 'til my tears ran dry

I have lived and died a thousand times

I have won and lost at whatever cost

But through it all it's true, I have always loved you

Just the way you smile lights up the day

And I'm blown away just to be with you

The way you touched my life with such tenderness

Words cannot express how you pull me through

And if I could do it all again

I'd still reach for you, my love, my friend

I have laughed and cried 'til my tears ran dry

I have lived and died a thousand times

I have won and lost at whatever cost

But through it all it's true, I have always loved you

When the night comes closing in

You're still the light that shines within

I have laughed and cried 'til my tears ran dry

I have lived and died a thousand times

I have won and lost at whatever cost

But through it all it's true, I have always loved you

I have always loved you
