This song was definitely one of the tunes that just came to me. I was driving home from my Mellow Monday gig at Bickford's and I began to sing the words. I got the first line and sang through the verse. Then I'd start over and the second verse came. I repeated the process on the 45 minute drive home to Andie. I love the end of the day when we can snuggle. When I reached the turn to our house, I pulled over and grabbed a pen and paper and wrote all the lyrics down. When I got home, I woke her up and played the song for her. Andie is a great inspiration for love songs for her love is so true.
I Love You NaturallyIf I wouldn't live another minute,
Another sunset not to see
I would know my life had meaning
Because your love gave that to me
But If I could live a thousand years
I'd do so happily
As long as I can have you near
Because I love you naturally
When I said I'm afraid to marry
That's not what I meant to say
What I meant was I would die inside
If you should ever go away
The couples come together
And the couples fall apart
But no matter what the future brings
I'm giving you my heart
Sure as the sun shines in the skyway
Sure as a river is a highway to the sea
I'm as sure I'll always love you
Because I'm always thinking of you
And I love you naturally
I'll be your shelter from heartache
Tour shade from the burning sun
Because if each lifetime has a soul mate
Then darling you're the one
I would follow you to heaven
I'd even stand up in death's way
To protect the love we hold so dear
There's no price I wouldn't pay
Sure as the sun shines in the skyway
Sure as a river is a highway to the sea
I'm as sure I'll always love you
Because I'm always thinking of you
And I love you naturally
Love you so much sometimes it hurts my heart
But I've got no irons in the fire
No intention to depart
Early this morning you were troubled by a dream
So I placed my hand upon your heart and said
It's not the way it seemed
Still you were sad when you awakened
Because in your dreams I'd let you down
But darling it was just a dream
I'll always be around
Sure as the sun shines in the skyway
Sure as a river is a highway to the sea
I'm as sure I'll always love you
Because I'm always thinking of you
And I love you naturally
