Lassie, do you love me?

Lassie, do you care?

Lassie, do you want me?

If you do I'll be there,

by your side in my dreams,

in the evening when the wee birdie sings.

Lassie, know I love you.

Lassie, know I care.

Lassie, know I want you, to be there,

by my side in my dreams,

now and forever when the wee birdie sings.

Lassie, do you love me?

Lassie, do you care?

Lassie, do you want me?

If you do I'll be there,

by your side in my dreams,

in the morning when the wee birdie sings.

Jimmie, dear lassie, I know that you love me,

and I know that you care,

I know that you want me, and will always be there.

And Jimmie sweet lassie, so I will love you always and forever,

as long as the wee birdies sing.

Chris for Jimmie
