"And I Love You So" is a popular song written by folk singer and guitarist Don McLean and released on his 1970 debut album, Tapestry. Its chorus features an unusual rhyming scheme for a popular song: A-B-B-A versus the usual A-B-C (or A)-B.
- The song was also recorded by Elvis Presley at RCA studio C in Hollywood, California, on March 11, 1975. It was released on his album Today, and Presley used it in almost every live show until his death.
And I Love You So
The people ask me how,
How I've lived till now
I tell them "I don't know"
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
This is my belief
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
