Carey / Fischer

[fl]
The way you turn your head
When you start blushin' red,
I love you for that!
[pp]
That hello kiss we share,
Your sweet caressing stare,
I love you for that!
[fl]
Remember the way
We acted so gay,
Promised to brush off romance.
[pp]
then came the night
You kissed me goodnight,
Now I'm still deep in a trance!

The whistle in your eye
Whenever I go by,
I love you for that!
[fl]
And the way you squeeze my hand
And always understand,
I love you for that!
[both]
It's heavenly
When you're with me,
I know I'll go on caring!
Thanks for being you
And making dreams come true,
I love you for that!

[pp]
I love you that we
Just happen to me
So out o' love when we met.
[fl]
Fate gets you down,
Then spins you around,
And I'll announce spinning yet!

The way you make me wait
And always show up late,
I love you for that!
[pp]
The way I fit your tie
And always wonder why,
I love you for that!
[fl]
As time goes by,
Let's always try
To keep our hearts together.
[both]
Thanks for being you
And making dreams come true,
That's why I love you!
