HOW MUCH DO I LOVE YOU?
I love you as much as a frog loves to hip-hop,
as much as a pond loves the sound of a raindrop,
beating out a rhythm like a drip-drop be-bop.
I love you that much and more.
I love you as much as a horn loves to toot,
as much as an owl loves to hooty-hoot-hoot,
with a love as lovely as a tune on a flute.
I love you that much and more.
I love you as much as a rocker loves to roll,
with a love that swings like a dancin' tadpole,
as much as we love our old water hole.
I love you that much and more.
I love you as much as a band loves to wail,
with a love as lively as a floppy fish tail.
My love travels with you like a little boat's sail.
I love you that much and more.
My love is as tender as a lullaby,
as sweet as a kiss and a sleepy sigh.
I love you as much as all the stars in the sky.
I love you that much. And more!
