American Old Time Song Lyrics: 40 Because I Do
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 40
BECAUSE I DO.
Words by F. E. Weatherly. Music by J. L. Molloy.
The rivers hurry seaward because they love the sea,
The sun-tired deer moves treeward, for shady is the tree;
......Because t hey love the sea,
The sun-tired deer moves treeward, for shady is the tree.
The sea shines back to heaven because it loves the blue,
And I come forth to you, love, because, because, because I do.
The breezes love the blossom that gives them sweet perfume,
The roses love the bosom whereon they blush and bloom;
......That gives them sweet perfume,
The roses love the bosom whereon they blush and bloom.
The winter loves the rubra because it is so true.
And I love you, my darling, because, because, because I do.
