He asked himself, "Why do I love her?"
     "What things to my life does she bring?"
So he took a moment to answer that question
     And this is the song he began to sing

I love her for her mind
     The way that it works so uniquely
I love her for her voice
     The way that it says, "I love you" so sweetly

I love her for her beauty
     The way that it shines like the sun
I love her for her laugh
     The way that she and I can have fun

I love her for her tears
     The way that she can share her feelings
I love her for her stories
     The way that she shares much in the revealing

I love her for her smile
     The way that it lights up a room
I love her for her spirit
     Shining brighter than the brightest moon

He went on and on, till the end of time
     Telling of the things that filled his heart
Of the things he loved about her so sublime
     And when he was finished,
                                he went back to the start

What more to say, Sir Sven?
What a perfect way to describe the reasons for being in love with any fine person.
I enjoyed it as much the second time around!
