Story behind the song
I wrote this song for my 25th wedding anniversary in the summer of 2007.
Lyrics
How Can I Help But Love You? How can I help but love you, baby? Each and every day you’re my Compass, you’re my beacon, You’re the light to show the way out of the Darkness that can hide the beauty of this life and of this world. Without you I would surely lose my way and fall apart. I need you like the air that we breath. And even when I’m feeling kinda blue, how can I help but love you? How can I help but love you, baby? Don’t you know I care about the Way you feel, and what you think, And you know I wouldn’t dare to turn my Back and run away from the all the little troubles in our lives. Every couple’s bound to disagree from every now and then. That’s the way it is when people live together. And even when we argue, how can I help but love you? Refrain You’re my one true friend. You’re my confidant. You’re my conscience, you’re my muse. And you know everything I want When I don’t even know myself. You’re here to help me find my way, Each and every day! How can I help but love you? How can I help but love you, baby? You’re the only one who knows The way to put me back together when I’ve come undone. You know my Dreams and my desires and the secrets only lifetime lovers share. I can’t imagine what my life would be without you by my side. We’ve built a wonderful world with each other. And every day is something new, how can I help but love you? Refrain Unpublished work © 2007 John R. Whitney
