John I Love You lyrics

John, I love you

I'm ever so fond of you

Will you wait for me

Till I am heavenly

Oh there's much work to do

But I love you

Oh you're tender

Your name's a whisper

I let tears fall like rain

Apple-sized they were

All over her

And through all of those times

When you could have died

This is what you find

There's life outside your mother's garden

There's life beyond your wildest dreams

There hasn't been any explosion

We're not spinning like Dorothy

If you look now then you'll see why

Don't be afraid to cry

This time don't let yourself fly

Child

Pick up those dancing shoes

Kick off those wedding blues

These are the ways

You can choose

Child, you're tender

Your name's a whisper

There's life outside your mother's garden

There's life beyond your wildest dreams

There hasn't been any explosion

We're not spinning like Dorothy

And if you look now then you'll see why

Don't be afraid to cry

This time don't let yourself fly

Child

Pick up those dancing shoes

Kick off those wedding blues

These are the ways

You can choose

Child, I love you

I'm ever so fond of you
