Why I Love You

She dragged my heart into the flame
She's pleasure and she's pain
She's more than what I bargained for (initially I)
Felt she was sand between my toes
But now she's in my clothes
Shoes, socks and nose (oh, no, now I'm getting itchy)
In the winter, you're the bright and sunny day
Then you go and turn to rain
Just when I think it's safe to play

And that's why I love you
(You bring the joy into the darkness of this world)
Why I need you
(You bring the colour into boring shades of grey)
Like August rain into the summer (no one could ever take your place)
You are the dessert to my supper
(Supper, a flower, the sweetness in my sour)
You bring the light into the darkness of day
And it's complicated, convoluted, no batteries included
When you picture it in your mind
But when she's here everything falls into place
Like a brush stroke in this painting over and I

And that's why I love you
(You bring the joy into the darkness of this world)
Why I need you
(You bring the colour into boring shades of grey)
Like August rain into the summer (no one could ever take your place)
You are the dessert to my supper
(Supper, a flower, the-)

Why I love you
(You bring the joy into the darkness of this world)
Why I need you
(You bring the colour into boring shades of grey)
Like August rain into the summer (no one could ever take your place)
You are the dessert to my supper
(Supper, a flower, the sweetness in my sour)
You bring the light into the darkness of day
