Since Love Remembers
 

I've got a magic moon shinin' right in thru my window
And the southern breeze is whistling Dixie thru the trees
I've got a home sweet home feelin' that I still believe in
I've got a true blue lovin' woman that still believes in me
 

I've got a fishin' hole that my granddaddy showed me
And this old cane pole is all I need to catch a mess
Then on my way home I'll pick some flowers for my lady
She'll put 'em in a Mason jar and thank me with a kiss

That's the way that it's been since love remembers
 If I have my say that's how it's gonna stay
 In a catfish jumpin' July or a cold December
 From the time the robins start singin' at the break of day
 Since the first time that I saw my woman smiling
 Since the first time that I called myself a man
 That's the way that it's been since love remembers
 As far as I remember love that's how it's been

I've got a bouncing boy that just climbed out of the cradle
He's my pride and joy, folks say he looks like me
I've got an old hound dog that just spends the whole day sleepin
Then he stays up with the whippoorwills and joins in when they sing

That's the way that it's been since love remembers
 If I have my say that's how it's gonna stay
 In a catfish jumpin' July or a cold December
 From the time the robins start singin' at the break of day
 Since the first time that I saw my woman smiling
 Since the first time that I called myself a man
 That's the way that it's been since love remembers
 As far as I remember love that's how it's been
 

As far as I remember love that's how it's been
