Friendly Persuasion 1956 Pat Boone

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 12 Jun 2003

Thee I love,
more than the meadows so green and still,
more than the mulberries on the hill;
more than the buds on the May apple tree,
I love thee.
Arms have I,
strong as the oak for this occasion;
lips have I to kiss thee too,
in friendly persuasion.
Thee is mine,
though I don't know many words of praise;
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways,
so put on your bonnet,
your cape and your glove
and come with me,
for thee I love.

Thee I love,
more than the meadows so green and still,
more than the mulberries on the hill;
more than the buds on the May apple tree,
I love thee.
Arms have I,
eager are they for this occasion;
lips have I to kiss thee too,
in friendly persuasion.
This I know,
thee pleasures me in a wondrous way,
long have I waited to hear thee say,
"Put on your bonnet,
your cape and your glove
and come with me,
for thee I love."

And come with me,
for thee I love.
Oh, come with me,
for thee I love.
