Guess you know
Language: English
Guess you know I love you so, Although I try to hide it, You're the sun And moon in one And all the stars beside it, When you pass Along the grass You set the blue-bells ringing! I believe You're sweet as Eve When Eden buds were springing Guess you know The hours go slow When you're away ma' honey, Guess it's true A smile from you Is worth a mint o' money Guess a queen The rarest seen Aint fit to rank above you, Glad am I The Lord on high Just put me here to love you!
