Joy H. (joyofglensfalls) | 16697 comments I watched the Netflix DVD of "Peter Allen: The Boy from Oz" (2004), a documentary about Peter Allen:

I LOVE Peter Allen! He puts so much feeling into the music he performs.

On the DVD he sings the lovely song, "I Honestly Love You", which he wrote with Jeff Barry. It's a beautiful song and he sings it with such passion. You can see and hear Peter Allen sing the song at YouTube:

(I can actually sing along because it's in my key. Yay!)

BTW, the title of the YouTube clip is:
"Peter Allen on 'This Is Your Life' singing 'I Honestly Love You' to his Family."

Lyrics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I Honestly Love You" (released in 1974)

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go
But I got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know
I love you , I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid
This is pure and simple
And you must realize
That it's coming from my heart and not my head
I love you , I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along every day
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you got the chance to say
I love you, I honestly love you

If we both were born
In another place and time
This moment might be ending in a kiss
But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this
I love you, I honestly love you
I honestly love you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
