Oh girl I love you

philip lacey 1956 (United Kingdom)



I remember a little girl
Just nine years old
Who touched this heart of mine?
Who touched my soul?
All the years I’ve known you now
All the feelings I hid somehow
But you knew them anyhow didn’t you!

I should have known I could not conceal
That my heart would soon reveal
When the love you feel is real
There is no hiding place
You stole my heart many years ago
I never intended you to know
But now you do I want you to know

That I desire to hold you tight
I want to share your bed at night
I desire to make love to you
Want to touch you tenderly
With natural rhythm and harmony
Oh girl love you oh girl I love you

I miss you more than words can say
The music I play is blues these days
I guess it’s just the dues you pay
That’s the price of love
I won’t forget the things I promised
You know my words are true and honest
You know I love you yes I do

‘Cause I desire to hold you tight
I want to share your bed at night
I desire to make love to you
Want to touch you tenderly
With natural rhythm and harmony
Oh girl love you oh girl I love you
