Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines,
Tell me why the ocean's blue,
And I will tell you just why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine,
Because God made the ivy twine,
Because God made the ocean blue,
Because God made you, that's why I love you.
I really think that God above,
Created you for me to love,
He picked you out from all the rest,
Because He knew, dear, that I'd love you best.
