There are sixty-nine reasons... no more. There are thousands now, and growing still— In every breath, in every thrill. [Verse 2 – Playful, Loving] I love the way your tongue still knows Where every spark of pleasure goes But it’s the way you hold my hand That makes me feel like I still can You challenge me, you make me grow You steady me when winds blow cold And in your gaze, I see it all The rise, the grace, the gentle fall [Chorus – Rise and Expand Emotionally] There are sixty-nine reasons why I love you But darling, that number’s outgrown its use From the stories we share To the silence we keep From morning coffee To dreams in sleep Yes, I wrote them down and cherished every score... But now I know there are reasons no more. There’s just love, pure and wide— No number can ever hold what I feel inside. [Bridge – Soft Spoken or Whisper-Sung] I love your kindness... The way you show up The way you see people The way you’ve always seen me [Final Chorus – With Deep Emotion, Then Fade] There are sixty-nine reasons why I love you But now the list has faded into truth Because it’s not just what you do It’s simply... you And every day, I find a few more So there are sixty-nine reasons... No more. [Outro – Piano and Voice Only] There are millions now... And I’ll keep counting... Until forever ends.
