about

This was recorded at Bruce Olsen's excellent studio in Richmond, Virginia. The engineer was Adrian Olsen, with help from Alexandra Spalding. This is pretty slick for me. Alex called it my 'radio hit.' The song might have been performed a few times, but no more than that. It was initially sung by Kathie Thomas on the Floor Creak CD. Kathie is featured on the Siren Songs Part Two compilation.

lyrics

I know that nothing is what it seems
I know talk doesn’t mean a thing
I knew tears most every night
‘Cause I love you, and that’s alright

I’ll admit that I’m afraid
That one day you’ll walk away
But I can’t live another way
‘Cause I love you, and that’s okay

I loved you from the first time
I saw you for the first time loving me
Like I love you

So tonight before you sleep
Search your heart, you may find me
Listen close to what I say
‘Cause I love you and that’s okay

I loved you from the first time
I saw you for the first time loving me
Like I love you
