Tom T. Hall
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I love little baby ducks, old pickup trucks Slow-movin' trains and rain I love little country streams, sleep without dreams Sunday school in May and hay And I love you, too I love leaves in the wind, pictures of my friends Birds of the world and squirrels I love coffee in a cup, little fuzzy pups Bourbon in a glass and grass And I love you, too I love honest, open smiles, kisses from a child Tomatoes on the vine and onions I love winners when they cry, losers when they cry Music when it's good and life And I love you, too.
