The Girl I Love - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE GIRL I LOVE. Copyright, 1894, by T. B. Harms & Co. Words by George Dailey. Music by Andrew Mack. 
There is a girl that I adore, she lives across the way; Standing by her cottage gate, I see her every day. At night my thoughts oft wander to the tiny stars above, I seem to see, in every one, the girl I love. 
Chorus. The girl I loves the girl I love! She seems to be in every tiny star above, Every flower, sweet and rare, every bird that wings the air, Reminds me of the girl I love. 
Tho' when you wander 'round the earth, or sail the deep blue sea, Winsome maidens you may meet, but none so fair as she. My heart is just a peaceful nest, to bold my gentle dove, And soon I'll wed, with joy complete, the girl I love.- Chorus.
