Lyrics
How do I love you, well let me seeI love you like a lyric loves a melodyBaby, completely wrapped up in youHow do I need you, well can’t you tellI need you like a penny needs a wishing wellBaby, completely wrapped up in you
Every now and then when the worldThat we’re living in is crazyYou gladly hold me and carry me throughNo one in the world has ever doneWhat you do for me and I’d beSad and lonely if there were no you
How do I love you, well count the waysThere ain’t a number high enough to end this phraseBaby, completely wrapped up in you
Every now and then when the worldThat we’re living in is crazyYou gladly hold me and carry me throughNo one in the world has ever doneWhat you do for me and I’d beSad and lonely if there were no you
How do I love you, well, don’t you knowI love you about as deep as any love can growBaby, completely wrapped up in youBaby completely wrapped up in you
