I Love You ~ Lyrics

I Love You

I love you,

Hums an April breeze,

I love you,

Echo the hills!

I love you,

The golden dawn agrees,

As once more she sees,

Daffodils!

It’s spring again,

And birds on the wing again,

Start to sing again,

The old melodies!

I love you,

That’s the Song of Songs,

And it all belongs,

To you and me

I love you . . .

Hums an April breeze,

I love you . . .

Echo the hills!

I love you . . .

The golden dawn agrees,

As once more she sees,

Daffodils!

It’s spring again,

And birds on the wing again,

Start to sing again,

The old melodies! ( mellow, melodies . . . )

I love you,

That’s the Song of Songs,

And it all belongs,

To you and me.

And it all belongs,

To you and me!
