Lyrics I Have Always Loved You - Kathy Mattea

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
