Lyrics
“I’m So Used To Loving You”
I’m so used to loving you, sweetheart
You’re on my mind each minute we’re apart
And I love you more each day that we go through
Yes, you’re my life and I’ll live it, loving you.I’m so used to loving you, it seems
I can’t stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I’d do, without you
I couldn’t stand it, I’m so used to loving you.I’m so used to the little things you say
Like hello darlin’, did you have a busy day
And the way you hold me close when day is through
Yes, you’re my love and I love it loving you.I’m so used to loving you, it seems
I can’t stand the thought of losing you
Not even in my dreams.
Hold me close and tell me what I’d do, without you
I couldn’t take it, I’m so used to loving you…
