The Reason I Love You (by Shannon Schroeder)

The Reason I Love You (by Shannon Schroeder)

God knitted you in my body
Which led to knitting in my heart
And forever those stitches will hold
Even though we are apart

Oh, sweet baby, you were the apple of my eye
From the very start
So always and forever,
You'll be in my heart

The reason I love you
Is simply because you are mine
That can never change
Through any season or time
Baby, the reason I love you is
Because God gave you to me
And finally someday
Together we'll be

When I looked at your small frame
Saw your heartbeat
I could see the beginnings
Of hands and of feet
When I realized
You were inside
It changed all that I was
I couldn't go back if I tried

Oh, sweet baby, you were the apple of my eye
From the very start
So always and forever,
You'll be in my heart

The reason I love you
Is simply because you are mine
That can never change
Through any season or time
Baby, the reason I love you is
Because God gave you to me
And finally someday
Together we'll be

Someday there'll be a reunion so sweet
Where you and I will finally meet
Someday there'll be a reunion so sweet
Where you and I will finally meet

But until then....

The reason I love you
Is simply because you are mine
That can never change
Through any season or time
Baby, the reason I love you is
Because God gave you to me
And finally someday
Together we'll be
