Lyrics
How do I love you, well let me see
I love you like a lyric loves a melody Baby, completely wrapped up in you How do I need you, well can’t you tell I need you like a penny needs a wishing well Baby, completely wrapped up in youEvery now and then when the world
That we’re living in is crazy You gladly hold me and carry me through No one in the world has ever done What you do for me and I’d be Sad and lonely if there were no youHow do I love you, well count the ways
There ain’t a number high enough to end this phrase Baby, completely wrapped up in youEvery now and then when the world
That we’re living in is crazy You gladly hold me and carry me through No one in the world has ever done What you do for me and I’d be Sad and lonely if there were no youHow do I love you, well, don’t you know
I love you about as deep as any love can grow Baby, completely wrapped up in you Baby completely wrapped up in you
