I Want To Be With You Always

I lose my blues, honey, when I'm with you
No one else can do what you do, you're in my heart to stay
When I'm gone, and I'm all alone 
I'll be singing this song for you, I want to be with you always

I'd be happy, dearest, if you could only be here
And always be nearer, forever and a day
Then we'd travel far, we'd be some big, shining star
Just you and my guitar, and stay there, sweetheart, for always

I just want to love you baby
You mean so much to me, you don't no how I feel
I'm crazy in my little world 

I hope you feel the same, you really want my name
Well, you'll be the one who's to blame, if it works out wrong that day
Cause my love is true, my love is only for you
I'll never be blue, if I can be with you always
