Lyrics by L. M. McDermott
Music by Baylor Maggenti

Verse 1

I love you naught for what you might be
Or for what you might have done.
But, because when I’m with you,
I love what I become.

I love whatever it is in me
That lets me love you so!
I love whatever it is in you
that makes me want to grow.

Verse 2

Sometimes I think I love most in you
The things I use to be.
Sometimes I think I love most in you
The things I love in me.

Sometimes I think I love most in you
The things I’ll grow to be
But, now I know I love most in you
The ways you set me free.

Verse 3

I know me better from knowing you,
And that’s the finest gift.
Your love does not bridge the gaps
It allows them to exist.

When having you close brings me closer to me,
When knowing you makes me more knowing of me,
When being in your arms makes me glad I’m me,
I’ll say I love you ‘cause that’s what “I Love You” means.

Repeat Verse 1

I love you naught for what you might be
Or for what you might have done.
But, because when I’m with you,
I love what I become.

I love whatever it is in me
That lets me love you so!
I love whatever it is in you
that makes me want to grow.

Chorus

I love whatever it is in me
That lets me love you so.
I love whatever it is in me
That lets me love you so.
