I love you like I love
memories of the peaceful times.
Like sunny days and lemonade
and secret gifts that Grandma gave,
cotton candy and ferris wheels
and time alone when dreams seem real.
I love you like I love
morning dew on fields of grain
and dawning sun through window panes,
cool clear lakes and boating trips
and mother's special Sunday dish.

I love you like I love
the delicate taste of the finest wine.
Like the laughing thrill of bumper cars
and sleeping out beneath the stars,
singing songs on New Years eve
and listening to the roaring sea.
I love you like I love
walking in a misty rain
and the lonely call of a distant train,
the warming rush of London Gin
and the fire's glow when we're snowed in.

I love you like I love
the mystic call of a morning Loon.
Like thoughts that slip through winds that moan
and fire flies that chirp and glow,
roosters posed on weathervanes
and Autumn leaves on country lanes.
I love you like I love
family days at county fairs
and circus clowns with crazy hair,
budding trees in early spring
and the bubbling talk of a mountain stream.

But most of all,
I love you for the quiet way you steal my day
and the love we share I can't explain.
