GOD KNOWS I LOVE YOU
Delaney and Bonnie
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D A
I remember when we were children playing in the fields.
A D A
I loved you truly even then and you know I always will.
D A
Climbin' over creek banks down by the cotton gin,
D A
Jumpin' over ditches, tearin' my britches, you cried when I got a whippin'.
[Verse 2]
D A
You cried when my Daddy died
D A
Just because I cried.
E
And I've heard you laugh when in my heart
D A
I knew you wanted to cry.
E
And when the truth it might have hurt me
D A
Lord, I heard you tell a lie.
[Chorus]
E D
And that is why
A D
I love you like I do.
A D
God knows I love you.
A D
God knows I love you.
A D
God knows I love you.
A
God knows I do.
[Verse 3]
A D A
Now you carry sweet and gentle my first baby child.
A D A
I live within the bright anticipation of your smile.
D A
Even in the bad times it seems like you never give in
D A
Standin' behind me and fightin' for me blindly and cryin' when I get a whippin'.
[Chorus]
E D
And that is why
A D
I love you like I do.
A D
God knows I love you. (Oh, yeah)
A D
God knows I love you. (Come on, Honey)
A D
God knows I love you.
A
God knows I do.
