1 Tell me why the stars do shine, Tell me why the ivy twines, Tell me why the ocean's blue, And I will tell you just why I love you.
2 Because God made the stars to shine, Because God made the ivy twine, Because God made the ocean blue, Because Goad made you, that's why I love you.
3 I really think that God above Created you in his great love. I picked you out from all the rest Because I knew, dear, I'd love you best.Source: Children's Hymnal #A-42
