I'll Live For You Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I can't be free to marry you we both know that 

But I dedicate my life to you each minute that I live 

And if you'll only try to take me like I am 

I'll give you what there is of me to give 

I can't live with you but I'll live for you 

Every minute, every hour, every day 

I can't live with you but I'll live for you 

And I'll try to make you happy in my own way 

I'll think of you each morning when the sun comes up 

I'll think of you at midnight when I lay me down to sleep 

I'll be true to you with every single breath I take 

All that's mine but me is yours to keep 

I can't live with you but I'll live for you 

Every minute, every hour, every day 

I can't live with you but I'll live for you 

And I'll try to make you happy in my own way
