You ask the reason why I love you so,
Little girl of mine!
And would you believe me if I told you true?
Little girl divine!
There's a thousand reasons why I love you so,
But I can't tell why!
You've asked the question and you'd like to know,
So I'll try, try, try.

It's the pretty things you say, dear,
And the pretty things you do.
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear,
And your pretty eyes of blue.
It's the pretty look you give me
When I ask you to be true.
It's the very pretty girl you are.
That's why I am so fond of you.

All the stars shine brighter, little girl of mine,
If you're only nigh;
And your eyes shine brighter than the stars that shine,
Can you tell me why?
Tell me why I'm happy when your voice I hear?
Why your eyes are blue?
Then I'll tell the reason why I love you dear,
Only you, you, you!

It's the pretty things you say, dear,
And the pretty things you do.
It's the pretty smiles you smile, dear,
And your pretty eyes of blue.
It's the pretty look you give me
When I ask you to be true.
It's the very pretty girl you are.
That's why I am so fond of you.
