"But You Know I Love You" lyrics - ALISON KRAUSS AND UNION STATION

When the mornin' sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm wakin' up
From another dream of you
When I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you.

How I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
But it seems so cold
Down inside my heart
That the dollar sign
Should be keepin' us apart
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you.

And if only I could find
My way back to the time
When the problems of this life
Had yet not crossed my mind
And the answers could be found
In children's nursery rhymes
I'd come runnin' back to you
I'd come runnin' back to you.
Mmmmm

But you know we can't
Live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent
I must leave you all alone
You know I made
My choice many years ago
And now this travelin' life
It's the only life I know
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you.

But you know I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you...
