This song was written by the talented songwriter Julie Gold. Bette Midler had a fairly large hit with it, but I prefer Nanci Griffith’s version. This is from her 1987 album “Lone Star State Of Mind” (wow, has it been 25 years?), an album loaded with great songs, most of them written or co-written by
Newfoundland, from Shaun Davey’s suite for uilleann pipes and orchestra, The Brendan Voyage, performed by Liam O’Flynn and the RTECO conducted by David Brophy.
I love you because you understand, dear Every single thing I try to do You’re always there to lend a helping hand, dear I love you most of all because you’re you
No matter what the world may say about me I know your love will always see me through I love you for the way you never doubt me But most of all I love you ’cause you’re you
I love you because my heart is lighter Every time I’m walking by your side I love you because the future’s brighter The door to happiness, you open wide
No matter what the world may say about me I know your love will always see me through I love you for a hundred thousand reasons But most of all I love you ’cause you’re you

We shared a bit about the process of writing our latest single Dynamite over on our Saint Sister Social Club last month.
We thought it would be nice to share it over here with you all too. Read what we said http://bit.ly/2zKcqHG
He went to sea for the day
He wanted to know what to say
When he’s asked what he’d done
In the past to someone
That he loves endlessly
Now she’s gone, so is he
I went to war every morning
I lost my way but now I’m following
What you said in my arms
What I read in the charms
That I love durably
Now it’s dead and gone and I am free
I went to sleep for the daytime
I shut my eyes to the sunshine
Turned my head away from the noise
Bruise and drip decay of childish toys
That I loved arguably
All our labouring gone to seed
Went out to play for the evening
We wanted to hold onto the feeling
On the stretch in the sun
And our breathlessness as we run
To the beach endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea
