But You Know I Love You

(Mike Settle - Pierre Delanoe)



When the mornin' sun streaks across my room

And I'm wakened up from another dream of you

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

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



But you know that I love you

You know that I love you

Oh, I love you.



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

What a life we'd have 'cause I've got so much to give

But ya' know I feel so sad down inside my heart

That the dollar sign should be keepin' us apart.



But you know that I love you

You know that I love you

Oh, how 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

And the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes

I'd come runnin' back to you.



But you know we can't live on dreams alone

Got to pay the rent so I must leave you all alone

But you know I made my choice many years ago

And now this travelin' life, well, it's the only life I know.



But you know that I love you

You know that I love you

Oh, I love you.



But you know that I love you

You know that I love you

Oh, how I love you.
