And I Love You
Aaron Tippin · People Like Us
That alarm sounds without warning
I wake up and say good morning
And I love you
I know sometimes you're still sleeping
I still whisper babe I'm leaving
And I love you
You need to know this ain't some kind of sometimes thing
This is something I will always do
Yeah the sun shines the river winds and the bluebirds sing
And I love you
While I work I curse the boss
And I anticipate gettin' off
And I love you
Oh and there's a little place
Where everybody goes at 5 o'clock
But I drive straight home
'Cause I love you,honey
Oh,you need to know this ain't some kind of sometimes thing
It's something I will always do
Yeah the sun shines the river winds and the bluebirds sing
And I love you
Oh,you need to know this ain't some kind of sometimes thing
It's something I wait always do
Yeah the sun shines the river winds and the bluebirds sing
And I love you
Oh,I love you
Me holdin' you and you holdin' me
Every night I fall asleep
And I love you
Yeah,I love you
Yeah,I love you
I love you
