You're Not Like Other Girls To Me 1908

To the bench down by the woodland
beneath the sky so clear,
Hand in hand I wander with the girl
I love so dear;
And there I gently held her
close to my loving heart,
Then tenderly I kiss her
and vow we'll never part.
But blushing red she whispers,
what makes you care for me,
You know that I'm not handsome
and I'm not fair to see;
Then once again I tell her
these simple words so true,
I love you 'cause I love you
and I love you 'cause you're you.

You're not like other girls to me
You've a way that's all your own,
Yet it seems the more of you I see
The more my love has grown,
Tho' you're plain of face and form
and have no golden curls,
Your smile is just like sunshine
for you're not like other girls.

Many years have flown since then,
the birds sing just as gay,
In the trees at springtime
as they did upon that day;
My heart is filled with sorrow
there's longing in my breast;
For one I loved is missing,
the girl I loved the best
and yonder in the valley
no more with me to 'bide.
She's sleeping there for ever
She's vanished from my side,
Tho' often in my fancy
again we seem to stray,
Down by the woodland pathway
and once again I say.

You're not like other girls to me
You've a way that's all your own,
Yet it seems the more of you I see
The more my love has grown,
Tho' you're plain of face and form
and have no golden curls,
Your smile is just like sunshine
for you're not like other girls.
