Costa, Nikka - Just Because Lyrics






I take you in and I hold my breath
Try to save the time that's passing by
And if you came to say goodbye
A thousand summers would never dry
Every tear that touched my face

And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do

I love
I love
I love you just because

Without the words to fall back on
I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe
And if I tried, I'd probably steer you wrong
Cause a thousand phrases would never say
How I feel today

And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do

I love
I love
I love you just because

    why hasn't she been made famous? her talent is so beyond anything you hear today! I don't know anyone who has ever heard of her, how sad is that?

  16. E.... ....

  20. L.... ....

    This is a superb song - right up there with the best of Carole King. The flavor reminds me of Tapestry (the album) although Just Because really has its very own recipe. This song should be covered widely, and Nikka, woman - where ARE you? Please keep on cookin' and share the food. We crave it. LOVE from Houston.
