Closer - Travis

How do i love thee ?


Let's me count the ways.


I love thee to the depth and breath


And height my soul can reach


When feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.


I love thee to the level of everyday's


Most quiet need, By sun and candlelight.


I love thee freely

As men strive for right;


I love thee purely,

as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

in my old grief's, and with my

childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love i seemed

to loose With my lost saints,


I love thee with the breath, smiles,

tears, Of all my life! And, if

god choose,

I shall but love thee

Better after death.
