I Still Do

Here’s a story I will tell

How I fell in love with you....

Darlin’, many happy years have passed away since you and I

Were tiny little boy and girl, playin’ ‘neath a summer sky.

Do you recall the day I was bold enough to say,

“I love you, dear, I want you near”?

And I still do.

Here’s a story I will tell

How I loved a little gal.

I was just a lad but still I knew

That it was true because

I was proud to say that I

Loved a little girl like you

And I still do.

Darlin’, let your memory stray and try to picture you and me

Roamin’ through the open field and playin’ in the hollow tree.

The rocky hills above I climbed to show my love

For the little gal I loved so well

And I still do.

Here’s a story I will tell

How I loved a little gal.

I was just a lad but still I knew

That it was true because

I was proud to say that I

Loved a little girl like you

And I still do.

Darlin’, close your weary eyes and let me take you by the hand

And straightway lead you through the past back to happy childhood land

And there we’ll live again the same as we did then

Among the flow’rs we claimed as ours

And we still do.

Here’s a story I will tell

How I loved a little gal.

I was just a lad but still I knew

That it was true because

I was proud to say that I

Loved a little girl like you

And I still do.
