If You Love Me (Let Me Know)

Loretta Lynn · They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy [1974]

(John Rostill)



You came when I was happy in your sunshine

I grew to love you more each passing day

Before too long I built my world around you

And I prayed you'd love enough of me to stay.



If you love me let me know if you don't then let me go

I can't take another minute of the day without you in it

If you love me let it be if you don't then set me free

Take the chains away that keep me loving you.



--- Instrumental ---



The arms that open wide to hold me closer

The hands that run their fingers through my hair

The smile that says hello it's good to see you

Anytime I turn around to find you there.



It's this and so much more that makes me love you

What else can I do to make you see

You know you have whatever's mine to give you

But a love affair for one can never be.



If you love me let me know if you don't then let me go

I can't take another minute of the day without you in it

If you love me let it be if you don't then set me free

Take the chains away that keep me loving you.



--- Instrumental ---



Take the chains away that keep me loving you...
