Analysis of DEEPER
even though you're beautiful
that isn't why I like you
a meadow full of reasons
burst like flowers through the snow
even though you're beautiful
that isn't why I want you
the sparkle of your eyes
reflect the desert stars that shine aglow
even though you're beautiful
that isn't why I need you
basking in your sunshine
as a sunlit tree I grow
even though you're beautiful
that isn't why I love you
as your beauty so is my love
deeper than you know
