I don't know why
  I love you like I do
  but baby I love you
  and always I'll be true
  I know sometimes
  you treat me like a fool
  try to bend me to your rules
  but I love you all the same
  
  'cause when we're together
  and everything's alright
  I'm a king for the day
  
  I don't know why
  I fall but don't fall down
  but I never touch the ground
  whenever you're around
  I don't know where
  we may be tomorrow
  if you lead I will follow
  and we'll get there just the same
  
  I'll always love you
  every day and night
  come and take me away
  
  can't you see that you're the only one
  and I'm open wide
  you saved me from being a lonely one
  you caught me inside
  with a feeling I can't resist
  you take me away
  and I'll never get over this
  a king today
  
  river
  I'm swimming in a deep river
  I hope that river
  is a long river
  
  well I know sometimes that you like to play
  messing with my mind but I love you anyway
  I don't know why you say what you say
  every night I pray that you never go away
  well I know sometimes that you like to play
  (it's a game you play)
  messing with my mind but I love you anyway
  (I love you anyway)
  I'm trying hard to say that I love you every day
  (despite the things you say)
  but I'm hoping and I'm praying that you never go away
  (never go away)
  
  'cause when we're together
  and everything's alright
  I'm a king for the day
  
  and I'll always love you
  every day and night
  come and take me away
