Because You Loved Me

I do not own Prince of Tennis or this song...

At the first time I tasted loss, I thought my world's gonna end.

I can't show my face, Oh how defeat tasted that awful!

Echizen Ryoma, him I shall never forget. He's the freshmen that triumphed over my skills…

Victory was his, while I had none….

I was destroyed….

…until you came…

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

I never gave up,

And you helped me…

…helped me to stand and fight once again…

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

"What's with this towel?"

Then you walked in the river…

"Come here and try swinging with that…"

"With this towel?"

"Ughhh!"

"This is getting heavy with all the water it absorbs…"

"I can't swing it!"

"What's wrong, Kaidoh?"

"You can't swing it with a snap of your wrist, right?"

"There's the key completing your Boomerang Snake"

"My weakness of my Boomerang Snake…"

You're the one who saw me through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

"To keep swinging for a week…"

"What a guy…"

"I don't care what Hyotei is…"

"I'll crush them!"

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me…

"Kaidoh, want to team with me for doubles?"

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I don't know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you…

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me…
