Text: Jean Shepard. I'll Live For You.

I can't be free to marry you we both know that
But I dedicate my life to you each minute that I live
And if you'll only try to take me like I am
I'll give you what there is of me to give

I can't live with you but I'll live for you
Every minute, every hour, every day
I can't live with you but I'll live for you
And I'll try to make you happy in my own way

I'll think of you each morning when the sun comes up
I'll think of you at midnight when I lay me down to sleep
I'll be true to you with every single breath I take
All that's mine but me is yours to keep

I can't live with you but I'll live for you
Every minute, every hour, every day
I can't live with you but I'll live for you
And I'll try to make you happy in my own way

Yes, I'll try to make you happy in my own way
