BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME - Celine Dion

For all those times you ………………….. (stand) by me
For all the truth that you ………………….. (make) me see
For all the joy you ………………….. (bring) to my life
For all the wrong that you ………………….. (make) right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I ………………….. (find) in you
I’ll be forever thankful baby
You’re the one who ………………….. (hold) me up
Never let me fall
You’re the one who ………………….. (see) me through, through it all
You were my strength when I ………………….. (be) weak
You were my voice when I ………………….. (cannot) speak
You ………………….. (be) my eyes when I couldn’t see
You ………………….. (see) the best there was in me
………………….. (Lift) me up when I couldn’t reach
You ………………….. (give) me faith coz you ………………….. (believe)
I’m everything I am
Because you ………………….. (love) me
You ………………….. (give) me wings and made me fly
You ………………….. (touch) my hand
I could touch the sky
I ………………….. (lose) my faith, you gave it back to me
You ………………….. (say) no star was out of reach
You ………………….. (stand) by me and I stood tall
I ………………….. (have) your love
I had it all
I’m grateful for each day you ………………….. (give) me
Maybe I don’t know that much
But I know this much is true
I was ………………….. (bless) because I was ………………….. (love) by you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I ………………….. (cannot) speak
You ………………….. (be) my eyes when I couldn’t see
You ………………….. (see) the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach
You ………………….. (give) me faith coz you ………………….. (believe)
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
You were always there for me
The tender wind that ………………….. (carry) me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You’ve been my inspiration
Through the lies you ………………….. (be) the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak…
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
