Sammi Smith Lyrics
"But You Know I Love You"

(Mike Settle - Pierre Delanoe)

When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I'm wakened up from another dream of you
Yes, I'm on the road once again it seems
And all I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you.

Oh, how I wish this love was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart
But you know I love you yes I love you oh I love you.

But if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this world had not yet crossed our minds
And the answer could be found in children's nursery rhymes
I'd come running back to you I'd come running back to you.

But you know we can't live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent I must to leave you all alone
'Cause I made my choice many years ago
Now this travelin' life is the only life I know.

But you know I love you, yes, I love you, oh, I love you.
But you know I love you, yes, I love you, oh, I love you.
But you know I love you, yes, I love you, oh, I love you.
But you know I love you, yes, I love you, oh, I love you...
