I Love You So

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

Oh my darling i was so lonely

Searching for you and for you only

Oh my darling i love you so



Oh my darling my love is true

Longing for you, no one else will do

Oh my darling i love you so



When i first saw you dear i knew you were alone

I said to myself that i'd make you my own

Your brother caught us kissing

I though he would surely tell

Until he started playing those wedding bells



Now my darling i'm yours forever

Don't ever leave me, leave me never

Oh my darling i love you so



Oh yes it's true, now i have you

And best of all i know now

That i'll never have to be blue

Oh baby, i love you so



I mean you, baby

I Love You So

Released by King Crimson, 'I Love You So' stands as a poignant example of the band's exploration of rock balladry within the progressive rock genre. The track features the distinctive interplay of Greg Lake's vocals and the ensemble's intricate guitar work, characteristic of the group's mid-to-late 1970s output. While often associated with the album 'In the Court of the Crimson King' or the 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic' era, the song's enduring appeal lies in its emotional depth and the band's ability to blend complex arrangements with intimate lyrical themes. It remains a staple of the King Crimson catalogue, showcasing the group's versatility beyond their signature psychedelic sound.
