Went for a walk on the beach, gathering
things left by the sea, the sea is my friend,
I share my thoughts with him, today I sang
as I walked, singing of love while your
words played in my mind
‘Tell me why - the sun doth shine... then I will
tell you - just why I love you..... because God
made - the sun to shine... because God made
you - that’s why I - love you...’ though that is
not strictly true - I love you because
You make me resonate to the essence of your
being, your facets and depths fascinate me, I
love the mysterious depths of your soul, the
way your eyes light up and your lips curl
as you smile
I love you because of the things that you do when
you can’t stop yourself – THAT is the way God
made you, you say... ‘because God made you,
that’s why I love you! ’
Song we sang at school:
Tell me why - the sun doth shine,
tell me why - the ivy twine,
tell me why - the sky’s so blue,
then I will tell you - just why I - love you,
because God made - the sun to shine,
because God made - the ivy twine,
because God made - the sky so blue,
because God made you,
that’s why I - love you.
