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.
