Ten Thousand Reasons
words and music by Kenny Shore, 2009
You’re wonderful, that’s one
your big brown eyes that’s two
you’re good to me, that’s three
and I’m so lucky you’re in love with me
you’re adorable that’s four
with you I’m so alive, that’s five
you’re sexy and that’s six
and you even like my politics
there’s 10,000 reasons that I’m in love with you
and every one of them like an arrow shoots me through
I’m so lucky we’re together it’s true
cause there’s 10,000 reasons I’m in love with you
you’re sentimental, that’s seven
you communicate, that’s eight
you’re sweet and kind, that’s nine
and I’m so lucky just to call you mine
your tender skin, that’s ten
you’re loving and that’s eleven
we get along so well, that’s twelve
and it’s so good I’ve been pinching myself
there’s 10,000 reasons that I’m in love with you
and every one of them like an arrow shoots me through
I’m so lucky we’re together it’s true
cause there’s 10,000 reasons I’m in love with you
bridge
well I could go on and on from now to the end of time
but I believe you get the idea that I’m so glad you’re mine
there’s 10,000 reasons that I’m in love with you
and every one of them like an arrow shoots me through
I’m so lucky we’re together it’s true
cause there’s 10,000 reasons I’m in love with you
