****************************************


Because (I’m still in love with you)

 

All because

You first loved me

So very long before I could even see

All along the sky was blue

If it hadn’t been for what you do

And the way in which you stayed true

 

Blue, Blue, Blue

Yet I was the first one to tell you.

“I love you.”

 

All because

You first wanted to kiss me

To open my eyes to a paradise you wanted me to see

All along the ocean was blue too

If it hadn’t been for what you do

And the way in which you stayed true

 

Blue, Blue, Blue

Yet, I was the first one to kiss you

It’s surprising what I do.

. . . . cause you know – I do – surprise you.

 

All along the camp fires

All along the watch towers

All along the garden flowers

 

I stop to catch your warmth

I climb to see you coming

I pick to make you smile

 

Let’s keep doing this for a. . . . . .

Long long long while.

Not too blue for me. Much more rosy with loving feeling.

Has a fine 'sing along with an acoustic guitar' quality to it, Doug, and the loving sentiment conveyed is superb. Hoping all is well ... richard
