The Waterboys - Why Should I Love You? Lyrics

This chapter says ""Put it out of your mind
and give it time”

The finest purple
the purest gold
the red of the Sacred Heart
the grey of the ghost
the ""L"" of the lips are open
to the ""O"" of the Host
the ""V"" of the velvet

Out of all of the people in the world
why should I love you?
There's just something about you
There's just something about you
Out of all the people in the world
why should I love you?

Did you ever see a statue of Buddha laughing?
Oh! That's one beautiful smile
the smile that heals

Out of all the people in the world...

The finest purple
the purest gold
the red of the sacred heart
the grey of the ghost
the ""L"" of the lips are open
to the ""O"" of the Host
the ""V"" of the velvet
the ""E"" of my eye
the eye of wonder
the eye that sees
the ""I"" that loves you

Out of all the people in the world
why should I love you?
