Beautiful song in a beautiful album mum had this album on repeat in her car when I was young ❤️

Ichtys Radio  (6)

I am the how and you are the why
we should give all the hopes
that are between us a try
I can see the why deep
inside your lovely eyes
and I know just how much
I long to be your guy

We both have been caught
up in how to get free
from the whys that our
loneliness cries endlessly
we both shared some
past loves full of misery
let me be your how baby
be my why tenderly

How could we turn our backs
on this chance love is brought
why would we walk away
from its lessons untaught
we must both realize this
is what we both sought
every why's telling us it's
what we haven't got

Let's give our love a place
in our hearts just to grow
never worrying about all
of the how's we don't know
let it flower and stretch to
perfume both our lives
till we both are as one
bidding goodbye to whys.

Love is not always planned
and no one knows why it picks
some really true loves and
some loves that fail quick
but I know how much I love you
I'll make it stick and you'll see
why we both are the most perfect fit

We both suffered mistakes
with our loves in the past
it is from those hard lessons
that we seek love that lasts
Baby, you are my why and
I've become your how
let's share a sweet kiss
and let our love start now

We have nothing to lose
and so much to gain
from 3 simple words
that have never caused pain
when spoken with truth
they have always remained
as simply "I love you"
let's make them our claim
till we both decide how and why
you'll share my name
till we both decide how and why
you'll share my name

I love you baby
what more can I say.
