But You Know I Love You

But You Know I Love You - Sammi Smith

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 traveling 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
