Question
There was a very sweet country song that the verses started off saying, "I love___,____, ___ and ___" and then listed sweet, innocent, simple things. There were a few lines of this (More like a poem) and then the chorus started "And I love you too." i can't remember enough of the words to even search for what this might be.Can you help?

Answer
Hello Katie,

Ah, one of my favourites. That was the Tom T. Hall song "I Love" from 1973.

I love little baby ducks, old pick-up trucks
Slow-moving trains, and rain
I love little country streams, sleep without dreams
Sunday school in may, and hay
And I love you too

I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends
Birds in the world, and squirrels
I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups
Bourbon in a glass, and grass
And I love you too

I love honest open smiles, kisses from a child
Tomatoes on the vine, and onions
I love winners when they cry, losers when they try
Music when it's good, and life
And I love you too


Glad to be of help. Cheers.......Mel.
