But You Know I Love You

Alison Krauss & Union Station

When the morning sun

Streaks across my room

And I've waken up

From another dream of you

When I'm on the road

Once again it seems

All I've left behind

Is a chain of broken dreams



[Refrain]



But you know I love you

Yes I love you

Oh I love you



How I wish that love

Was all we need to live

What a life we'd have

Cause I've got so much to give

But it seems so wrong

Deep inside my heart

That the dollar sign

Should be keeping us apart



[Refrain]



And if I could only find my way back to the time

When the problems of this life of mine didn't cross our minds

All the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes

I'd come running back to you

I'd come running back to you



But you know we can't

Live on dreams alone

And to pay the rent

I must leave you all alone

Though I made my choice

Many years ago

Now this traveling life

Is the only one I know



REFRAIN (two times)
