Famous Roy Turk Quotes

“I don't know why
I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do.”

Song I Don't Know Why (I Just Do)

“Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day,
Someone waits for me.

And the gold of her hair
crowns the blue of her eyes
like a halo tenderly.”

Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin”
