babe, I love you, many reasons why...
'deed I do... 'till the day that I die
the environment may be fit to choke...
the whole damn globe may go up in smoke...
but, babe, I love you... I will be true to you.
...
I thank my stars, I'm a lucky guy...
I can count on every one ...up there in the sky
there's much that I could do for you
that couldn't explain like making love would do...
babe, I love you... let me whisper in your ear... (cme here, near; now...)
...
cuddle up, muddle up my mind...
I'll close my eyes, and feel my way blind...
love is real, it's warm and kind...
I've been searching, darlin' now I find...
...
I find it every time, in your embrace...
when that sly smile creeps 'cross your face...
...(well... the lyric to this tune chooses to escape me at the moment... an older song, for certain; and I had thought the recent occasion of 'Valentine's Day' might bring it to mind... apparently not so... "and so it goes"... I suppose. ...and so it went, t would seem... maybe I'll return to this at a later date...)... love to all, d.
