Story Behind The Song
Peggy Lee inspired me on this song. I had the song produced with a faster pace ala "Avalon".(Also on Broadjam). Then my partner changed the meter to the samba beat. When I perform the song I see the crowd immediately getting into the mood of this song.

Lyrics
Verse I
When I found you, How I Loved you
Nothing I wouldn't do
Till you made me give up everything for you
There's different kinds of love
That you can't measure
Still you treasure too
I just couldn't give up everything for you
Bridge
I tried so hard to may you happy
But a selfish love can't live
You never knew the kind of love it takes
That makes you want to give
Verse 2
And though I'm blue and lonely
For you only, in my heart I knew
I just couldn't give up everything for you.
Instrumental
