God Knows I Love You

God knows I love you God knows I do I remember when we were children playing in the fields I loved you truely even then and you know I always will Climbin' over creek banks down by the cotton gin Chasin' papa's billy goat tearin' my petticoat you cried when I got a whippin' You cried when my puppy died just because I cried And I've heard you laugh when in my heart I knew you wanted to cry And when the truth might have hurt me I've heard you tell a lie And that is why I love you like I do God knows I love you God knows I do Now I carry sweet and gentle your first baby child I live within the bright anticipation of your smile Even in the bad times, seems like you never gave in Standin' behind me and fightin' for me blindly and cryin' when I get a whippin' You cried when my puppy died just because I cried And I've heard you laugh when in my heart I knew you wanted to cry And when the truth might have hurt me I've heard you tell a lie And that is why I love you like I do God knows I love you God knows I do
