Lyrics of But You Know I Love You by Kenny Rogers
verse
When the morning sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm waking up
From another dream of you
Yes, I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All I've left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
chorus
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
verse
How I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong
Deep inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Could be keeping us apart
chorus
When you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
verse
And if I could only find my way back to the times
When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds
All the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
And I'd come running back to you
I'd come running back to you
verse
But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
'Cause you know I made my choice
Many years ago
And now this travelling life
Is the only one I know
chorus
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
chorus
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
