I remember when we were children playing in the field, I loved you truly even then, I
know I always will.
Climbing on the creek bank down by the cotton gin, jumping over ditches, tearing my britches,
you cried when I got a whip in, you cried when my daddy died, just because I cried.
And I've hurt you like, when in my heart, I knew you wanted to cry, and if the truth
might have hurt me, Lord I heard you tell the lie, and that is why, I love you like
you do.
God knows I love you, said again, God knows I love you, God knows I love you, God knows
Now you carry sweet and gentle, my first baby child, I live within the bright anticipation
of your smile, and even in the bad times, seems like you never give in, standing behind me
blindly, crying when I get a whip in, Lord I, and that is why, I love you like I do.
God knows I love you, oh yeah, God knows I love you, come on honey, God knows I love
you, God knows I do.
