Because I love you
I'll hold your hand when times get rough
And back you up even though you're tough
I'll leave you notes as I pack your lunch
So that you can smile when you're in a crunch
Because I love you
I will protect you when you go astray
But encourage you to make your own decisions, to go your own way
I'll admit when I'm wrong
Even though I'd like to be strong
Because I love you
I will vow to give you a part of me
Just as I know you will, you see
L-O-V-E means respect and freedom
And my hugs and kisses and words when you need 'em
Family, friends, and strangers too
Love is pure and selfless and true
So this I promise to you
I am there for you always, stuck like a tattoo
Because I love you
