Love Song for You

Hank Locklin · My Love Song for You [1968]

(Neal Merritt)



I am writing this song for you

Let me see do I know what to say

For the old words of love won't do

let me try to explain it this way.



The meek child inherit the earth

And if I should be one of the few

All the wealth I will own won't be worth the joy

I have known loving you.



In the night I can reach for your hand

And I know it will always be there

How can I make you understand

What it means just to know that you care.



I can think of what my life would be

If I'd've lived it without knowing you

Though I don't even know the key

I am writing this love song for you...
