I'm In Love With You

Lyrics: John Dawson?
Music: John Dawson?

Played by the New Riders of the Purple Sage in their very early days, with Jerry Garcia on pedal steel and Mickey Hart on drums. I would guess it is a John Dawson original.. There are two versions in circulation, rather different, showing how the words were being developed before the song seems to have been abandoned.

The first is from 30 July 1970:

I can build a mountain, reach up to the sky
I can turn the sun rise, just winking my eye
I'd be happy to perform all these treats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

I can hold the moonlight in my hand to show
I can give you loving, the like you've never known
And I'd be happy to perform all these treats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

Well I can leap tall buildings in a single bound
And I can fly much faster than the speed of sound
And I'd be happy to perform all these feats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

Oh oh oh, oh hey, yo mey hey
I'll do what I can for you
Oh, oh hey hey, yo mey
Please be my woman too

Well I can leap tall buildings in a single bound
And I can fly much faster than the speed of sound
And I'd be happy to perform all these feats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

I can build a mountain, reach up to the sky
I can turn the sun rise, just winking my eye
I'd be happy to perform all these treats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

Well I can leap tall buildings in a single bound
And I can fly much faster than the speed of sound
And I'd be happy to perform all these treats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

I can make the sun shine when the weather's bad
And I can love you better than those other guys you've had
And I'd be happy to perform all these treats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

Well I can bring the bacon when the cupboard's dry
And I can warm your body, yes, and I can get you high
And I'd be happy to perform all these treats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

Oh oh oh, oh hey, yo mey hey
What I have for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey,
Please be my woman too

Well I can leap tall buildings in a single bound
And I can fly much faster than the speed of sound
And I'd be happy to perform all these feats for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you

Well I can bring the bacon when the cupboard's dry
And I can warm your body, and I can get you high
And I'd be happy to perform all these tricks for you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you
'Cause, oh hey hey, yo mey hey, I'm in love with you
