How Could You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's right, it's real, baby, it's true
Yeah the sun and the moon revolve around only you
And the magic that you do
How could I be blue, not around you
Always on my mind, I need you baby
Darling would you mind if I hold on tight
And love you for the rest of my life?
Chorus:
Honey how could you love me?
How could you love me like this?
I said I never knew just what I missed
How could you love me like this?
You're part of my heart
You're almost close as my skin
Baby where have you been all my life?
I said it's alright, it feels just like my dreams
Only now that I got the real thing yes
Always on my mind
I need you baby
Darling would you mind if I held tight
And love you for the rest of my life?
Honey how could you love me?
How could you love me like this?
I said I never knew just what I missed
How could you love me like this?
And it gets sweeter (sweeter baby)
Sweeter as the days go by (sweeter baby sweet sweeter baby)
And it gets better (better baby, gets better baby)
Better with time
