If I am here tonight,
it is because I love you—
it is because you need me
even if you do not know it.
If I am here tonight,
it is because I know how to forgive
and I will not throw it away like this—
my love for you.
For me to come here—
it was like scaling
the highest mountain in the world.
And now that I am here,
I want to forget
the saddest memories down at the bottom.
If I am here tonight,
it is because I know how to forgive—
it is because you need me
even if you do not know it.
It is because you need me
even if you do not know it.
