I Don't Know Why I Love You, Mon Amie
I don't know why I love your smile
I don't know why I admire your style
I don't know why I appreciate your ways
I don't know why I want to carry your trays.
Through your eyes I can see deep in your heart
It's like looking through a binocular or a telescope
At times, I see love, pride and many rainbows of hope
That's why I want to voluntarily push your heavy cart.
I don't why I love you so much and fondly, my love
Oh! It is the heavy heartbeat that I feel around you
Oh! It is the way you express yourself making few
Mistakes. Oh! Baby, you're indeed a gorgeous dove.
Of course, I know why I love you with so much passion
I can feel the current flowing through my veins like blood
I smell it like incense that the priest uses to calm the flood
And yet, I love you because we have God's benediction.
I don't how your heart feels for me, if you like me or not
It does not matter to me. I care about you because I'm a nut
A brave lover. I love you with all my guts and I want to be part
Of your challenging future. I want to love you with all my heart.
Now, I know why I love your smile
Now, I know why I admire your style
Now, I know why I appreciate your ways
Now, I know why my poor heart is ablaze.
