Dolly Parton - But You Know I Love You Lyrics

(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.
