Go ahead, get in your reading for the day!  It’s worth it.  Thank you to my very inspiring clients, Lexi & Matt, for sharing this during your ceremony.  It touched me then and still does.

I Like You

by Sandol Stoddard Warburg

I like you and I know why.

I like you because you are a good person to like.

I like you because when I tell you something special, you know it’s special

And you remember it a long, long time.

You say, Remember when you told me something special

And both of us remember

When I think something is important

you think it’s important too

When I say something funny, you laugh

I think I’m funny and you think I’m funny too

You know how to be silly

That’s why I like you

Boy are you ever silly

I never met anybody sillier than me till I met you

You really like me, don’t you

And I really like you back

And you like me back and I like you back

And that’s the way we keep on going every day

I like you because if we go away together

And if we are in Grand Central Station

And if I get lost

Then you are the one that is yelling for me

And I like you because when I am feeling sad

You don’t always cheer me up right away

Sometimes it is better to be sad

You want to think about things

If you find two four-leaf clovers, you give me one

If I find four, I give you two

If we only find three, we keep on looking

Sometimes we have good luck, and sometimes we don’t

I like you because I don’t know why but

Everything that happens is nicer with you

I can’t remember when I didn’t like you

It must have been lonesome then

I like you because because because

I forget why I like you but I do

So many reasons

On the 4th of July I like you because it’s the 4th of July

On the fifth of July, I like you too

If you and I had some drums and some horns and some horses

We could be a HOLIDAY

We could be a CELEBRATION

We could be a WHOLE PARADE

Even if it was the 999th of July

Even if it was August

Even if it was way down at the bottom of November

Even if it was no place particular in January

I would go on choosing you

And you would go on choosing me

Over and over again

That’s how it would happen every time

I don’t know why

I guess I don’t know why I really like you

Why do I like you

I guess I just like you

I guess I just like you because I like you.

(I guess I just love you because I love you.)
