Why I Love Her

Intro - Acoustic Guitar & Bongos

Mm-mm

Mm-mm-hmm

Verse 1

Morning light through the kitchen pane

She's humming something I can't quite name

Tapping claves against her coffee cup

That little smile when she looks up

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know how she does it

How she makes the quiet feel so full

Chorus

Why I love her

Why I love her

Every time she lets the day unfold

Why I love her

Why I love her

More than any story ever told

Verse 2

She leaves her shoes by the garden door

Picks a leaf up off the wooden floor

Laughs at things I never quite get right

Kisses me goodnight in soft moonlight

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know how she does it

How she makes the silence feel so right

Chorus

Why I love her

Why I love her

When the world gets heavy and the night grows cold

Why I love her

Why I love her

She's the warmth I'm always trying to hold

Bridge - Modulation, Double-Tracked Vocal

I was walking through the rain

Didn't think I'd find a day

Where the grey sky turned to blue

Just because she knew my name

And the minor chords I played

Faded out in morning dew

Guitar Solo - Nylon String, Haunting Four-Note Riff

Chorus - Softer, Stripped

Why I love her

Why I love her

Every time she lets the day unfold

Why I love her

Why I love her

More than any story ever told

Outro - Percussion drops out, just acoustic guitar and voice

Mm-mm

She's the reason that I stay

Mm-mm

On that bright major third, hanging... suspended...
