Please put down the paper turn off the TV
And darling look over my way
And I know that lately we ain't done much talking
But there's something I just have to say
I love you dear I love you dear
I haven't said that is such a long long time
Come sit close beside me and give me a chance
To prove I'm so glad you're still mine
My golf clubs your bridge clubs have kept us both busy
And Johnny and Jean are half grown
Time makes it easy to take things for granted
Like knowing that you are my own
But I love you dear...
