Alison Krauss - But You Know I Love You Lyrics






When the morning sun streaks across my room
And I’m waking up, from another dream of you
When I’m on the road, once again it seems
All that’s left behind is a chain of broken dreams

[Chorus:]
But you know I love you, yes I love you, oh I love you.

How I wish that love was all we need to live
What a life we’d have, cause I’ve got so much to give
But it seems so wrong, deep in side my heart
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart

[Chorus]

And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life had yet not crossed your mind
And all the answers could be found in children’s nursery rhymes
I’d come running back to you, I’d come running back to you

But you know we can’t live on dreams alone
And to pay the rent, I must leave you all alone
Though I made my choice many years ago
And now this traveling life, it’s the only one I know

[Chorus x2]

Alison Krauss But You Know I Love You Comments
  1. D.... C....

    A blessing for us to have her to listen to. Such fluid dynamics and expression. Union Station ain't shabby, either.

  2. K.... E....

    From the first time I heard this angel sing Steel Rails, she had me hooked.

    K.... E....

    Thanks Bill for checking in with us.

    K.... E....

    Jan Hammer Allison always makes me check in.

  3. T.... K....

    I've had it bad for her ever since I heard her sing the first time in 1992

    T.... K....

    Thanks for checking in with us,

  4. E.... S....

    Makes me want to rip her clothes off !! great song

  5. B.... W....

    when she hits that 'nursery rhymes' line it knocks me back about 2 feet, in a good way

  6. K.... L....

    What a great song. Sung by the voice of an Angel. Can't get enough of listening to her. Keep singing to us Alison. We love you so very much...

  7. C.... B....

    this song should put her in the hall of fame

    C.... B....

    +Connie Britt Thanks Connie. Agreed it's a fine tune.

  8. b.... ....

    Right back at ya, Sweetie.

  9. c.... ....

    This lacks all the emotion of Kenny Rogers original recording with the First Edition!

    c.... ....

    @cosmic70rock Are you serious?????

    c.... ....

    Don't agree. The First Edition version was more of a sixteen-beat rock song. You can hear/feel that sixteen rock beat in the drums/bass. This one's more of a 8-beat country song with Krause's unique take on it. Both resonate emotion differently.

  10. M.... S....

    Thank you Alison, it's beautiful!

  11. J.... H....

    Thank you for visiting my site and for your comment.

  12. w.... ....

  14. S.... J....

    With no thanks from Kid Rock about "Only God Knows Why"... listen to it.

  15. q.... ....

    that vocal she does at 2:11 melts my heart. <3

  16. C.... ....

    I love Allison Krauss. But Dolly Parton did it best.

    C.... ....

    I must say I prefer Dolly's version, but good to hear this version!

  17. B.... A....

    -Alison NEVER fails to give 200% in any of her musical performances. This video is the perfect example of that! May God Bless Her for all the pure beauty she brings to all our lives!!!

  18. b.... ....

    Absolutely beautiful! I used to love this song performed by Kenny Rodgers and The First Edition. Ms. Krause does it much justice!!

  19. T.... L....
