How Could I Not?
Berkley Hart
Continues after the ad
A ten-year old photograph
Skinny-dipping in the river
My jackknife made you laugh
The cold water made you shiver
You dried off with my flannel shirt
By the August moon
How could I not love you?
Me and you and one suitcase
No money in the kitty
No church and no white lace
Just a courthouse in the city
Still I think of the way you smiled
And said, "I do"
How could I not love you?
Continues after the ad
Sometimes I think you wonder
What it is I see in you
You don't need to worry
There's no way I can't be true
One small girl and one small boy
One is nine and one is seven
I've never known such joy
It's just a little bit of heaven
When I look in their eyes
And see your light shining through
How could I not love you?
How could I not love you?
