[Intro - Solo Acoustic Guitar, Set tempo to 70 BPM] [Verse 1] When the teacher introduced you that first time We were only 10 years old Your pretty blue dress and white blouse had me sold Your long brown hair and your smile held me captive I was mesmerized, I couldn’t believe my eyes Oh, I’ll never forget the day No one else has ever made me feel that way [Verse 2] I remember that walk under a dark Missouri sky As the world drifted off to sleep You and I were sharing dreams Walking slow, holding hands, under that bright full moon I’m sure the good Lord up above Was looking down on us with love Oh, I’ll never forget the night Just you and me, and everything felt right [Chorus] Did I ever tell you that I love you Every single day Forever and always I was lost to you the first time that I saw you And if you haven’t heard me say “I love you” yet today Then let me say it once again “I love you” [Instrumental Bridge - starting out with romantic string ensemble and building to a bold declaration of love in the Bridge] [Bridge] Down life’s every straight or crooked mile My journey with you has made me smile And if the road should disappear (Acoustic guitar only backup) You know my love for you is always here [Final Chorus] Did I ever tell you that I love you Every single day Forever and always I was lost to you the first time that I saw you And if you haven’t heard me say “I love you” yet today Then let me say it once again And a thousand times again Let me say it once again “I love you” [Tag - soft close with a solo acoustic guitar backup only] Let me say it once again “I love you” [End]
