And I love you so. The people ask me how.
How I've lived till now. I tell them I don't know.
I guess they understand. How lonely life has been.
But life began again. The day you took my hand.
And yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me. And the night won't set me free.
But I don't let the evening get me down. Now that you're around me.
And you love me too. Your thoughts are just for me.
You set my spirit free. I'm happy that you do.
The book of life is brief. And once a page is read.
All but love is dead. That is my belief.
And yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me. And the night won't set me free.
But I don't let the evening. Now that you're around me.

1970년 Don McLean의 데뷔앨범에 수록되었으나, 자신보다는 다른 가수들에 의해 불리워진 곡으로 더 알려졌습니다. 특히나 1973년 Perry Como (Perry Como는 정말 제가 좋아하는 가수죠) 에 의해 불리워진 앨범이 빅히트를 하고 거의 Perry Como의 곡으로 알려지게 된 곡입니다.
저도 Perry Como 버전을 정말 좋아하죠. 일종의 카페뮤직입니다. 향기로운 커피 한잔과 함께 하면 좋을만한 곡입니다.
감사합니다.
