"And I Love You So" is a popular song written by folk singer and guitarist Don McLean and released on his 1970 debut album, Tapestry. Its chorus features an unusual rhyming scheme for a popular song: A-B-B-A versus the usual A-B-C (or A)-B.
- The song was also recorded by Elvis Presley at RCA studio C in Hollywood, California, on March 11, 1975. It was released on his album Today, and Presley used it in almost every live show until his death.
And I Love You So
And I love you so,
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them "I don't know"
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
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 bring me down
Now that you're around me
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring 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
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
This is my belief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
And yes I know how loveless 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
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
