Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I love you

For sentimental reasons

And I hope you do believe me

I've given you my heart

Know, I love you, I love you

And you alone were meant for me

And, oh, give you loving heart to me

And say we'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never part

'Cause, honey, I think of you every morning

Dream of you every night

Know, I know I'm never lonely

Whenever you're in sight

[Verse 2]

Oh, because, I love you, I love you

For sentimental reasons, my love

I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope you do believe me

'Cause I've given you my, my heart

[Verse 3]

And, oh, I think of you every morning

And dream of you every night

I know, I know, I know I'm never lonely

Whenever you're in sight

Because, I-I love you, I love you

For sentimental reasons, oh, for sentimental reasons

I hope you do believe me, baby

'Cause I've given you my heart
