(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
