For Loving You

For Loving You - Bill Anderson/Jan Howard

For loving you for needing you

But most of all

For loving you for loving you

For loving you my life is so much richer

You've given so much to live for

And I never really lived before

Before loving you

For loving you

And for loving you

My faith is a little stronger

For a world that could give you to me

Couldn't be as bad

As it's made out to be

There was good there

I just could never see

Before loving you

For loving you for needing you

But most of all

For loving you for needing you

And for needing you

I feel a whole lot stronger

For there's a strength

That comes from knowing

You need to give up yourself and darling

I gave so much of myself loving you

For losing you

And now I'm losing you

And I'm a sadder lonelier man

Than I ever thought any man could be

But even in my loneliness

Even as I walk the hunting trail of memory

Even for all the pain

That I'm feeling right now

Never once will I ever regret

Having had the chance of loving you

Loving you
