(Stephen Sondheim)

from the musical, Passion





Loving you is not a choice

It's who I am

Loving you is not a choice

Not much reason to rejoice

But it gives me purpose

Gives me voice

to say to the world

This is why I live

You are what I live

This is why I live





Loving you is why I do the things I do

Loving you is not in my control

But loving you I have a goal

For what's left of my life

I will live

and I will die

for you





It gives me purpose

gives me voice

to say to the world

This is why I live

Yes, this is why I live

Loving you is why I do the things I do

Loving you is not in my control

But loving you

I have a goal

for what's left of my life

I will live

and I will die

for you





I will live

and I will die

for you
