I love him in the Springtime
And I love him in the Fall,
But last night, on the back porch,
I love him best of all!

I love him in the morning
And I love him at night.
I love him, yes I love him
When the stars are shining bright.
I love him in the Springtime
And I love him in the Fall,
But last night, on the back porch,
I loved him best of all!

(now the dance!)
I love him,
Oh I love him at night.
(me dancing!)
I love him, yes I love him
When the stars are shining bright.
(I had lessons)
I love him in the Springtime
And I love him in the Fall,
But last night, on the back porch,
I loved him best of all!

(all together!)
I love him in the morning
And I love him at night.
I love him, yes I love him
When the stars are shining bright.
I love him in the Springtime
And I love him in the Fall,
But last night, on the back porch,
I loved him best of all!
Oh last night, on the back porch,
I loved him best of all!
But last night, on the back porch,
I loved him best of all!
