But You Know I Love You

Buck Owens · Tall Dark Stranger [1969]

When the morning sun streaks across my room

And I'm wakened up from another dream of you

Yes, I'm on the road once again it seems

All that's left behind is a chain of broken dreams.



But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.



How I wish that love was all we'd need to live

Oh, what a life we'd have 'cause I've got so much to give

And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart

That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart.



But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.



And if only I could find my way back to the time

When the problems of this life had not yet crossed my mind

For the answer could be found in children's nursery rhymes

I'd come running back to you, I'd come running back to you.



Though you know we can't live on dreams alone

And to pay the rent I must leave you all alone

You know I made my choice many years ago

Now this traveling life is the only one I know.



But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you...
