I Loved You Like I Loved My Very Life - Carla Thomas

I loved you like I love my very life

Now there’s no reason to go on

I loved you like I love my very life

You’re gone

Hey, did you ever wake up

Wondering why you woke up at all?

Did you ever feel nothing’s real

So, why get up to take another fall

I loved you like I love my very life

Now there’s no reason to go on

I loved you like I love my very life

What’s the use of me foolin' myself

No matter what I keep tellin' myself

You’re gone

And, woe, how it hurts to swallow

As the tears roll slowly down my face

Where are happy days and love that stays?

And how does one of our souls find a place?

I loved you like I love my very life

Now there’s no reason to go on

I loved you like I love my very life

What’s the use of me foolin' myself

No matter what I keep tellin' myself

You’re gone

I loved you like I love my very life

Now there’s no reason to go on

I loved you like I love my very life
