    Lyrics:
    I love you because you understand, dear
    Every single thing I try to do
    You're always there to lend a helping hand, dear
    I love you most of all because you're you
    No matter what the world may say about me
    I know your love will always see me through
    I love you for the way you never doubt me
    But most of all I love you 'cause you're you
    I love you because my heart is lighter
    Every time I'm walking by your side
    I love you because the future's brighter
    The door to happiness, you open wide
    No matter what the world may say about me
    I know your love will always see me through
    I love you for a hundred thousand reasons
    But most of all I love you 'cause you're yo

      Leon Payne 1949, the blind singer and songwriter, maby he wrote it to his wife. And amazing song.
      And when Jim Reeves recorded it around 1960
      It became a huge hit here in Sweden, Norge and UK ❤
      Thanks for sharing this
      And thanks NRK Norge 👍

    Today exactly 50 years are gone since Jim Reeves tragically died in an airplane accident (July 31st, 1964). After half a century, his velvet bariton voice still lives on in his timeless music. It has become world cultural heritage.

    Mooie compositie...mooi lied... mooi gezongen! Eén van de vele prachtige songs ... is er iets mooiers dan prille tienerliefde van twee mooie, heel jonge passioneel verliefden? Onbetaalbaar toch? Iedereen die dat mocht ervaren zal dat ontegenzeggelijk beamen! Op alle markten is de mooiste waar het vlugst verkocht... is al eeuwen een waarheid! Prille liefde is nooit te vroeg!

    My late mother loved Jim Reeves. She was taken too young at just 49, and even though she has been gone over 35 years this song still moves me to tears. It is so pure and beautiful and it also sums up how I feel about my mother so I always play it on Mother's day and the anniversary of her passing March 7th. Thanks for posting this recording.
