I know I love you and you keep my love true
And this is how I know you know I love you
When I look up at the stars at night
Your love shines so-o-o bright
When I awake in the morning light
My dreams still hold me tight
Like angel's wings

I know I love you
I know I love you
I know I love you

I know I love you and you keep me in love
And this is how I know you hear it above
When I look up at the starry sky
I hear the angels sight
They sing the night away, then I
Am lifted high
Unto the stars

I know I love you
I know I love you
I know I love you

(written 12-17-1998)

This is a song of love for God, and about self-affirmation.  It's got an up-tempo melody in 4/4 time.

I wrote this as part of my "recovery" from psychological/verbal/etc. abuse I'd received from someone (not a relative) over the years.  She had some personal problems that affected me.  One of her "lessons" was to inform me that I don't love God and to expound upon how evil I am.  So, in part, this song was a "good-bye" to her and her abuse.

BRAVO!!! (big hugggssssss) I'm so proud of you, she can try and torment you as much as she can, but nothing can ever stop the love of your golden heart and love to the Lord! (smiles) I'm sorry you had to go through all that abuse, but I'm so proud of you for being the loving person you are always! (kiss on cheek) I love you, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
