BECAUSE I LOVE YOU -- STEVIE B

I got your letter From the postman just the other day
So I decided to write you this song Just to let you know
Exactly the way I feel To let you know my love’s for real

Because I love you And I’ll do anything I’ll give you my heart,

my everything Because I love you I’ll be right by your side
To be your light, to be your guide

If you should feel That I don’t really care And that you’re starting to lose ground Just let me reassure you That you can count on me
And that I’ll always be around

Because I love you My heart’s an open door Girl, won’t you please come on in Because I love you I’ll be right by your side
To be your light, to be your guide Because I love you
I’ll be right by your side To be your light, to be your guide

The opening line, "I got your letter from the postman just the other day" proved to be a powerful phrase for this song about a man trying desperately to hold on to his girl. The song became better known as "The Postman Song" instead of the more common title "Because I Love You."       (songfacts)
