"They don't laugh the way you do, and they don't smile the way you do, and their eyes don't shine the way yours do. I love you... just because." Just gorgeous!
This was the song that i had my first dance at my wedding to with my wife. It summed up how i felt about her 9 years ago at the ceremony and even more so now after 20 years together! Love You Kathy!! Thank's Nikka!
I love Nikka since she was a kid and i myself was a child as well. Her voice is magical. Gal pal keep doing what ur doing 'cause that's what u are: soul, voice and beauty. Love u Nikka 4ever!!
I wanted this to be my wife and I's song so bad but she wouldn't listen to me :) The message is so clear and simple over such a complex feeling song. Thank you for this, it has made my day :)
This is a superb song - right up there with the best of Carole King. The flavor reminds me of Tapestry (the album) although Just Because really has its very own recipe. This song should be covered widely, and Nikka, woman - where ARE you? Please keep on cookin' and share the food. We crave it. LOVE from Houston.
I love this song Nikka. You are so underrated.. I know you should be numerated. I really love your voice, the way you express and say the beautiful words you have written.
Por accidente he llegado hasta este box y me ha fascinado tu voz y tu carisma.. felicitaciones.. y un placer escucharte.. ya tienes un nuevo fan en Guayaquil-Ecuador
Been looking for a live version. I play this on my iPod all the time, but now I've just been inspired to look into what this sweetheart is up to now! Great performance.
I take you in And I hold my breath And try to save the time that's passing by And if it came to say goodbye A thousand summers could never dry Every tear that touched my face And they don't laugh the way you do And they don't smile the way you do And their eyes don't shine the way yours do I love you Just because Without the words to fall back on I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe And if I tried I'd probably steer you wrong A thousand phrases could never say How I feel today And they don't laugh the way you do And they don't smile the way you do And their eyes don't shine the way yours do I love you Just because
Absolutely wonderful, Nikka. "The song with a million chords!" Hahaha! I remember putting together a guitar arrangement for a friend's wedding and thinking, "damn..." But, the song is perfect in its construction, flow, and message. One of the best!
It took many years, but I finally have a reason to 'get' this song. Perfect timing to hear it again. Beautiful rendition, Nikka - thank you for the extra smile in my heart today! :)
awww, look at you bustin' that out on a Rhoads for us. thank you, Nikka! yeah, i tried figuring the chords out on guitar and i was pretty stumped. i think i got like three or four that made sense...? keep doin' your thing, Momma!!!! wonderful performance, by the way.
I just absolutely love this chick! Wish we were friends & could do kung fu & funky dance or somethin? Lol, she my kinda girl soul sista! One badass Mama!
You betta SAAAAANG, dammit! I sing this in my shows and always draw a tear or two from the audience. ADORE YOU...and just found out we share a good friend! See you in San Francisco in February!! :)
I HONESTLY CANT BELIEVE SHE DIDNT MAKE IT BIG HERE IN THE USA! SHES FUCKING SO DAMN GOOD! WE AS A SOCIETY IN THE USA LIKE SHIT MUSIC IN GENERAL I GUESS?!?
"They don't laugh the way you do, and they don't smile the way you do, and their eyes don't shine the way yours do. I love you... just because." Just gorgeous!
Why can't these four precious minutes last forever?♥️

Nikka this song makes me cry every time i hear it. I feel so deeply for this song about my kids...thank you for creating it.
Love this song! Nikka is one of the best in the world
R.I.P. Billy P. You are sorely missed.
Can't believe I'm just discovering this song. Beautiful.
TOOK ME 3 YEARS MORE THAN YOU TO DO SO....AMAZING SONG

Not gonna lie, I get a lil'choked up everytime I hear this song! Beautifully done.

I love Nikka since she was a kid and i myself was a child as well.
Her voice is magical.
Gal pal keep doing what ur doing 'cause that's what u are: soul, voice and beauty.

Yes i did and it was great.There was no need to rush and we have never regretted taking our time.
This is a superb song - right up there with the best of Carole King. The flavor reminds me of Tapestry (the album) although Just Because really has its very own recipe. This song should be covered widely, and Nikka, woman - where ARE you? Please keep on cookin' and share the food. We crave it. LOVE from Houston.

Nika, fez parte da minha infância
Beautiful voice!!! Keep on singing & thanks for posting this.
I love you just because 😎🎭✌️
10 of 10 hope to see you live one day...
pase 5 años buscando la cantante de esta cancion que escuche en la radio, y hasta hoy encontre la portadora de este gran talento.
Been looking for a live version. I play this on my iPod all the time, but now I've just been inspired to look into what this sweetheart is up to now! Great performance.
Amazing lyrics
Also push and pull...we can all relate. You know whobu are...
NIKKKAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dedicate this song to Y.O.U! My Heart explodes every time I hear it. Thank you, Love ~
You can't fake talent like this. God bless you Nikka Costa!!! Close to Aretha you are. Can't wait to sing with you one day!!!
Understated and beautiful!
I take you in
And I hold my breath
And try to save the time that's passing by
And if it came to say goodbye
A thousand summers could never dry
Every tear that touched my face
And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
I love you
Just because
Without the words to fall back on
I'm afraid it's hopeless to describe
And if I tried
I'd probably steer you wrong
A thousand phrases could never say
How I feel today
And they don't laugh the way you do
And they don't smile the way you do
And their eyes don't shine the way yours do
I love you
Just because
I LOVE this song. Such a beautiful version....just Nikka and an electric piano....(by the way--way to play and sing at the same time!!) Just gorgeous!
Absolutely wonderful, Nikka. "The song with a million chords!" Hahaha! I remember putting together a guitar arrangement for a friend's wedding and thinking, "damn..." But, the song is perfect in its construction, flow, and message. One of the best!
