Because You Asked Me Why I Love You
I
If questioning would make us wise
No eyes would ever gaze in eyes;
If all our tale were told in speech
No mouths would wander each to each.
Chorus
Were spirits free from mortal mesh
And love not bound in hearts of flesh
No aching breasts would yearn to meet
And find their ecstasy complete, complete...
II
For who is there that lives and knows
The secret powers by which he grows?
Were knowledge all,
what were our need to thrill
and faint and sweetly bleed?
III(x2)
Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why"?
I love you now until I die.
For I must love because I live
And life in me is what you give
Chorus x3
Because You Asked Me Why I Love You
