(Harvey Fuqua/Johnny Bristol/Sylvia Moy) Oh and I know these things will keep me loving you dear Say it again These things will keep me loving you dear A gentle touch upon my face baby A tender kiss and a warm embrace honey Oh a few kind words Spoken so sincere And I know and I know These things will keep me loving you dear These things will keep me loving you dear Give me your shoulder so I can cry on it baby Oh give me advice that I can rely on honey Oh say you love me every day of the year And I know and I know These things will keep me loving you dear Say it again These things will keep me loving you dear Oh and I know these things will keep me loving you dear Oh baby baby Call me each night on the telephone baby Oh send me a card when you're far from home honey Oh hold me close to you baby every time you're near And I know and I know These things will keep me loving you dear Oh, loving you dear [ad lib to fade]
