"I Love You"
===================
album _Lou Reed_
(Lou Reed, 1972)
written by Lou Reed
===================
When I think of all the things I've done
and I know that it's only just begun
Those smiling faces, you know I just can't forget 'em
but I love you
When I think of all the things I've seen
and I know that it's only the beginning
You know those smiling faces, I just can't forget 'em
but for now, I love you
Just for a little while
oh baby, just to see you smile
Just for a little while
When I think of all those things I've done
and I know that it's only just begun
Oh, smiling faces, Jesus, you know I can't forget 'em
But for now, I love you
right this minute, baby now
I love you
at least for now, I love you

Smiling faces not fogotten 'cause -
