lyrics

Well I took a chance I asked her to dance
but I never quite learned how
All I really wanted to do was make romance
I think my honesty was too loud
Well night was young so we had some fun
as the drinking had just begun
and I must've played my cards alright
I took her home that night
to wake beneath the sun
cause I just want to tell you
How happy it is to be
and I just want to show you Honey
How much you mean to me
Well the days went past as the love grew fast
I hadn't felt this way ever
You just need something that was gonna last
We'd only spend every evening together
and I never knew no one quite like you
You was really something else
and yes it's true every time I think of you
My heart just begins to melt
cause I just want to tell you
How happy it is to be
and I just want to show you Pretty Mama
How much you mean to me
We settled down in quiet little town
way out yonder from the west
Drinking's got me hanging again
You know it's her that I want the best
and I'd do anything to keep you by my side
I'd do any doggone thing I'd pawn my Rolex watch
and I'd buy you a diamond ring
cause I just want to tell you
How happy it is to be
and I just want to show you Honey
How much you mean to me
How much you mean to me
How much you mean to me
