And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night wont set me free

But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief

And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free

But I don't let he evening get me down
Now that you're around me

Perry Como was born May 18, 1912 was born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.  He always wanted to be a barber, and open his own barber shop after graduating from high school.  He married his high school sweetheart, Roselle Belline.  She died in 1998 at the age of 84 years, after 65 years of marriage.  It was reportedly said that he was devastated by her death. He died three years later just before his eighty-ninth birthday. He was reported to have suffered from symptoms of Alzheimer's disease throughout the final years of his life.

He had signed with RCA Victor in 1943 and received many gold records.  He later became a successful television personality beginning in 1948.  He hosted "The Perry Como Show" through the 50's.  In 1959 the show was renamed the "Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall" and lasted for five years.  He became the highest-paid performer in the history of television to that date.

A 1994 Christmas concert in Ireland was his final special, and the last of his commercial recordings.
