Lyrics
I Love You All The Darkness In The Night
Jane Pietrantoni (Lyrics & Vocals), Music by Frank Pietrantoni
I remember when you were just a little boy
We'd lay together and watch TV
I'd tickle you and ask, what every mother asks
How much, do you love me
You said...
I love you all the darkness in the night
And all the grass outside
And all the stars up in the sky
You'd tell me, you'd tell me with a smile
I love you all the darkness in the night
Years went by and my little boy grew
You said Mommy I don't want to lay with you
My friend has asked me over
Can I stay there tonight?
We're gonna order pizza
Will you be alright?
You said...
I love you all the darkness in the night
And all the grass outside
And all the stars up in the sky
You'd tell me, you'd tell me with a smile
I love you all the darkness in the night
Now that you're a man with a family on the way
I remember my little boy and things you'd always say
I look into your face and know you'll feel my kind of joy
When words of love are said by your own little boy
He'll say Daddy...
I love you all the darkness in the night
And all the grass outside
And all the stars up in the sky
He'll tell you, he'll tell you with a smile
I love you all the darkness in the night
He'll say Daddy...
I love you all the darkness in the night
And all the grass outside
And all the stars up in the sky
He'll tell you, he'll tell you with a smile
I love you all the darkness in the night
