I Love You Like

I love you like I love

memories of the peaceful kind.

Like sunny days and lemonade

and secret gifts that Grandma gave,

cotton candy and ferris wheels

and time alone when dreams seem real.

I love you like I love

morning dew on fields of grain

and dawning sun through window panes,

cool clear lakes and boating trips

and mother's favourite Sunday dish.



I love you like I love

the delicate taste of the finest wine.

Like the laughing thrill of bumper cars

and sleeping out under the stars,

singing songs on New Years eve

and listening to the roaring sea.

I love you like I love

walking in a misty rain

and the lonely call of a distant train,

the warming rush of London Gin

and the fire's glow when we're snowed in.



I love you like I love

the mystic call of a morning Loon.

Like thoughts that come on winds that moan

and fire flies that chirp and glow,

roosters posed on weathervanes

and Autumn leaves on country lanes.

I love you like I love

family days at county fairs

and circus clowns with crazy hair,

budding trees in early spring

and the bubbling talk of mountain streams.



I love you for the quiet way you steal my day

and the love we share I can't explain.
