Miller, Roger - That's Why I Love You Like I Do Lyrics

This is the story about a boy that loved a girl
He loved her very much, in fact he loved her so much that he
Couldn't seem to find the exact words to tell her exactly how much he did love her
Oh he tried several times, but it seems like every time he tried the words always came out backwards
They came out something like this
Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do
Bluebird wingin' parly fo some say
Charl lee lum say so
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do
In other words there are no words to say how much I care
And every time I start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there
Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do
In other words there are no words to say how much I care
And every time I start to tell you
Words come to my throat but they stick there
Bright moon tray fiddlee run by through
Around and up to,
That's why I love you so much
That's why I love you like I do

Thanks for posting. I just got Roger and Out LP and this is on it and you can't find this song on any other format than the original LP. I will have to get the LP converted to CD. I wish someone would please put this song on a high res file so anyone can buy it.

Words fail to come out the way you intend them  to. Like tongue tied.

Thank you for posting this song in solid quality!

Roger Miller was a genius and such a lovable man and that's why I love him like I do.

Mark Twain- Stephen Foster- Hank Williams- Roger Miller

Natural singing..

anyone know where I can find chords for this?

another "unknown" Roger Miller experiance...

Very good just sad they can't live forever I love this bloke

Thank you for the post, this guy is one of the true greats

this is a true roger miller song beautiful💃💃💃

My uncle Barry used to sing this song when I was a little boy. I always loved hearing him sing and play guitar.

he always brings plenty of smiles !!

thankyou. my dad used to sing this to me and the first time i picked up a guitar it was this song i played.

Damn, Roger Miller was the best of all time.  I wish I would have found him sooner.

2019 ..... dang me

guardian angels  sing too...itw weird, I hear them clapping

I was thinking of this song the other night. I looked on YouTube & there it is. Thank you for posting.

Undisputed genius. Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, John Lennon, and Roger Miller. The Mt. Rushmore of nonsense verse

Great references!  I never thought about it like that.

@Bradford Eclectic. . . except, Walt Kelly should be included. 

I think this is the sweetest song in the world.

Thank you very much for this beautiful song
i love it

roger miller just full of talent that's why I love you like I do

Roger Miller was perhaps the funniest country singer ever.

Good indeed.

I'll upload it asap. Thanks for watching.

Very good to know! Thanks!

Thank you. Love Miller. Any chance you got "The Last Word in Lonesome is Me"?

Is there a post of Sonny James' version of this song anywhere? It hit #1 on the Country & Western charts and #1 on the Canadian RPM CountryTracks charts.

anyone have the guitar chords for the song? would love to play this to my girlfriend.

@jkeiltaylor I'm quite sure I have Uncle Harvey's Plane somewhere around here, I'll have to upload it.

YES good ole innocent love...hmmm

Would you happen to have uncle harveys plane? I am not sure if that is the title but My dad has been looking everywhere for it. If you do, and could post it that would be awesome.

amazing that none of Roger's original hit albums on Smash have been issued on cd...only the box set touches on this material. many lesser artists have their entire catalogs on cd...............

It's from the album Dang me & Chug a lug.
I just ripped it off vinyl, and will be putting it up shortly.

great lyrics he's a 1 of a kind

Great childhood memories relived here:)

This is great. I wonder if anyone else will ever eventually come into the modern music business with his same type of style.

mes1947
this is a good one !!!!! I heard this years back....

never heard this song before, i just stubled across it while i was surfing all of youtube...this is a neat song!

such a " guy " attitude!

'love you Roger! Who has a trailer for sale or rent?

Great song... Thanks for sharing!!! xo

Such a creative piece...

there is no such thing as a bad or not-as-good tune of roger miller's. they are all purely genius and beautiful!

No problem
I'm in the process of putting up all my old roger miller that isnt on youtube yet.
I will keep you posted.
