This what I call a list song but I haven't been able to come up with the right champagne melody for it....
It keeps escaping me.......However, it's meant to be like a Sinatra style tune........Also a repost.


I Love You Like

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

I love you like I love
the delicate taste of the finest wine.
Like the laughing thrill of bumper cars,
sleeping out under the stars,
singing songs on New Years eve,
listening to the roaring sea.
I love you like I love
walking in a misty rain,
the lonely call of a distant train,
the warming rush of London Gin,
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 come on winds that moan,
fire flies that chirp and glow,
roosters posed on weathervanes,
Autumn leaves on country lanes.
I love you like I love
family days at county fairs,
circus clowns with crazy hair,
budding trees in early spring,
the bubbling talk of mountain streams.

Oh I love you like all these things
but I have to say
I love you most for the quiet way
you flow through my heart and veins
with a love only God can explain........

I love you

Oh Eric..I do love this!
In a way it reminded me of the old Faygo commerical song..remember?
I forget the words..but it's a list as well.
Excellent and so very much enjoyed.

dancing with you in the summer rain~

Sheeeeeeer poetry--and I love you, too! Oops-a-daisy! I was so swept away by your vivid professions of love, that I felt you were actually saying them to me! Lucky be she for whom they were written!

Love & Eternal Light,
EA
