You tie your hair up prettily
You say your middle name’s Marie
Well in french that means “star of the sea”,
Sounds just right to me.
And my painting’s hanging on your wall
So you can look at summer in the fall
Oh we’ve made memories we’ll make some more
Oh I just love you
I just love you
So mother why’s it hard to say
Things of sincerity nowadays?
Why are we all so afraid
Of saying something real?
Cos she was lying in the sun
In the quiet corner where the river runs
Well I went inside and I wrote the words
I just love you.
I just love you
It’s a simple truth,
It’s the little things you do,
It’s the smile on your lips,
When you walk into a room,
It’s the birthday card you drew,
That make me love you.
