It's the Pretty Things You Say 1908

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 22 Mar 2005

You ask the reason why I love but you,
Little girl of mine;
and would you believe me if I told you true,
Little girl divine!
There's a thousand reasons
why I love you so.
But I can't tell why;
but you've asked the question
and you want to know,
so I'll try, try, try.

It's the pretty things you say, dear,
and the pretty things you do;
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear,
and your pretty eyes of blue;
it's the pretty look you give me
when I ask you to be true.
It's the very pretty girl you are,
that's why I am so fond of you.

It's the pretty things you say, dear,
and the pretty things you do;
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear,
and your pretty eyes of blue;
it's the pretty look you give me
when I ask you to be true.
It's the very pretty girl you are,
that's why I am so fond of you.

All the stars shine brighter,
little girl of mine,
if you're only nigh;
and your eyes shine brighter
than the stars that shine,
can you tell me why?
Tell me why I'm happy
when your voice I hear?
Why your eyes are blue?
Then I'll tell the reason
why I love you, dear,
Only you, you, you!

It's the pretty things you say, dear,
and the pretty things you do;
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear,
and your pretty eyes of blue;
it's the pretty look you give me
when I ask you to be true.
It's the very pretty girl you are,
that's why I am so fond of you.

It's the pretty things you say, dear,
and the pretty things you do;
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear,
and your pretty eyes of blue;
it's the pretty look you give me
when I ask you to be true.
It's the very pretty girl you are,
that's why I am so fond of you.
