The Way I Love You
I love you like the sunshine
I love you like a harvest moon
I love you, yes I do like the springtime
when the honeysuckles are in bloom
I love you like a cool breeze
I love you like the autumn leaves
I love you, yes I do like the sunset
when the whippoorwill sings
bridge
darling, you know I don't talk that much
it never was my style
II gotta say how I love you so much
oh baby, you make me smile
please stay with me awhile
I love you like a summer rain
I love you like a freight train
that's the way I love you

@Cove Just love this song. Such beautiful imagery stated in so few words. Thank you for telling me the story behind such a lovely lady who you wrote this song for.
Truly,

Beautiful Lyrics and I love when men show how much they love their wives. I know your wife is smiling and very proud.
This is sweet and the guitar playing is great.
Thanks for sharing your story.

Beautiful lyric. A simple structure is perfect for this. Just letting all the emotion shine through.
In terms of the production mix, you might consider simplifying the guitar a little - it's almost competing for attention with the vocal here, and the vocal needs to be the star to convey those wonderful words, Also maybe wind back the reverb on the vocal track just a tad.
I don't imagine there's a woman out there who wouldn't want to hear her husband say these words.

@RainyDayMan Thanks for listening Owen and the suggestions. I didn't spend much time on mixing and the guitar definitely needs to be turned down during the vocals . I use an ambient reverb on my vocals. I'll probably just redo them. Thanks again for your suggestions.

This is so deeply felt with the love, respect and empathy shining through not a soul, in my opinion can find any kind of fault with it. Strength to you brother.

It's a beautiful song, Toney, your love for her shines through so clearly in these lyrics, and while she may no longer be here, I know she would be so happy with this. I agree with RDM, the lyrics should be the star here, so I might lower the verb a bit and bring the vocals to the forefront. Well done and stay strong!
