Friendly Persuasion (song)
- Friendly Persuasion (song)
"Friendly Persuasion" is a popular song with music by Dimitri Tiomkin and lyrics by Paul Francis Webster. It was published in 1956 and appeared in the 1956 film of the same name.
The best-known version of the song was recorded that year by Pat Boone. The title is an obvious play on words since the film centers on a Quaker family, a religion known as the "Society Of Friends." Thus, they are be said to be of the "Friendly" Persuasion.
LYRICS:Thee I love, more than the meadow so green and stillMore than the mulberries on the hillMore than the buds of a May apple tree, I love thee
Arms have I, strong as the oak, for this occasionLips have I, to kiss thee, too, in friendly persuasion
Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praiseThee pleasures me in a hundred waysPut on your bonnet, your cape, and your gloveAnd come with me, for thee I love
Friendly persuasion
Thee is mine, though I don't know many words of praiseThee pleasures me in a hundred waysPut on your bonnet, your cape, and your gloveAnd come with me, for thee I love
