Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India. His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

But You Love Me, Daddy Lyrics
Jim Reeves
Jim Reeves & Dorothy Ann Dillard
Your five year old face
Is a dirty disgrace
But you love me, daddy.
You scatter your toys
And you make to much noise
But you love me, daddy.
You know little lad
You can be pretty bad
But you love me, daddy.
You wake me at dawn
When I want to sleep on
But you love me, daddy.
Now you eat the cookies
When I tell you, no
But you love me, daddy
'Cause you tell me so.
Your so hard to scold
'Cause your my five year old
Because you love me, daddy.
--- Instrumental ---
When I dress you up
You go play with the pup
But you love me, daddy.
When I use the phone
You won't leave me alone
But you love me, daddy.
You make sister wail
Pulling her pony tail
But you love me, daddy.
You scratch up the floor
And you write on the door
But you love me, daddy.
you ask foolish question
Now, you know that true
But you love me, daddy
Now you know that you do.
Your so hard to scold
'Cause you're my five year old
Because you love me, daddy...
