Loudon Wainwright III
How I Love You (I’m Telling’ the Birds, Telling’ the Bees)
Through fields of golden flowers
Where we spent sunny hours
I'm stilling along thinking of you
I told the four leaf clover
My lonesome days are over
I talk about you all the day through
I'm tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees
Telling' the flowers, telling' the trees
How I love you
Tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun
Tellin' the stars and tellin' each one
How I love you
I feel so happy and I show it
I want the whole wide world to know it
The shady old nook, that shadows that fall
The little old brook—I'm tellin them all
How I love you
(Orchestra)
Here's where we used to wander;
I sit alone and ponder
Day dreamin' of you all of the time
If you don't think I love you
Just ask the stars above you
For since you told me you'd be mine...
I'm tellin' the birds, tellin' the bees
Tellin' the flowers, tellin' the trees
How I love you
Tellin' the moon, tellin' the sun
Tellin' the stars—tellin' each one
How I love you
I feel so happy and I show it
I want the whole wide world to know it
The shady old nook, that shadows that fall
The little old brook—I'm tellin them all
How I love you
How I love you
How I love you
