So you crahed the plane

And there's hell to pay

I'm making it plain

I love you anyway



You made a fool

Out of me today

I'm breaking the rule

I love you anyway



You threw the blame

What a role to play!

My story's the same

I love you anyway



You dealt the blow

And you burst the ball

I'm letting you know

I love you most of all



Magic we chase - only to find

It comes from a place higher than mind

Higher than dust, but only just

It hangs on the cusp



I can hear you scream

Like a branded slave

It's only a dream

I love you anyway



You've got a war to wage

Chief to obey

Foe to engage

I love you anyway



You hunker down

Feeling small

Judging the clown

I love you most of all



I picture you with the eye of my mind

A portrait in blue, unravaged by time

Beauty undimmed and through your pale skin

The beauty within



So you beat the child

Sent him away

Beauty defiled

I love you anyway



You tricked the king

Cut him where he lay

Unthinkable thing

I love you anyway



You held the jewel

And you let it fall

Prince of a fool!

I love you most of all



Over the wind, under the hill

Wing upon wing, love over will

When the big me meets the big you

The things we will do!



I'll make the time

If you name the day

Trouble or shine

I love you anyway



I think of you

As child of clay

Whatever you do

I love yo anyway
