I'LL LIVE FOR YOU
(Bill Anderson)


Jean Shepard - 1969
Bill Anderson - 1970


I can't be free to marry you, we both know that
But I dedicate my life to you each minute that I live
And if you only try to take me like I am
I'll give you what there is of me to give

I can't live with you, but I'll live for you
Ev'ry minute, ev'ry hour, ev'ry day
I can't live with you, but I'll live for you
And I'll try to make you happy in my own way

(Instrumental Break)

I'll think of you each morning when the sun comes up
I'll think of you at midnight when I lay me down to sleep
I'll be true to you with ev'ry single breath I take
All that's mine but me is yours to keep

I can't live with you, but I'll live for you
Ev'ry minute, ev'ry hour, ev'ry day
I can't live with you, but I'll live for you
And I'll try to make you happy in my own way
Yes, I'll try to make you happy in my own way
