God Knows I Love You Lyrics

I remember when we were children Playin' in the field I loved you truly even then I know I always will Climbin' on the creek bank Down by the cotton gin Jumpin' over ditches Tearin' our britches You cried when I got a whippin' You cried when my daddy died Just because I cried And I heard you laugh When in my heart I knew you wanted to cry And if the truth might have hurt me Lord I hear you tell a lie And that is why I love you like I do God knows I love you, God knows I love you God knows I love you God knows I do Now you carry sweet and gentle My first baby child I live within the bright anticipation of your smile And eve in the bad times Seems like you never give in Standin' behind me, fightin' for me blindly Cryin' when I get a whippin' And that is why I love you like I do God knows I love you, God knows I love you God knows I love you God knows I do
