The "I Love You" Song

I love you (repeated several times)

My love, I wish there was another way

To say the thing I want to say

And not to have to say: I love you

Another way to make a start

To tell you what is in my heart

And how my every thought is of you

To find a phrase that says as well

The secret that I long to tell

I've scanned the dictionary's pages

But back to 'I love you' I'll go

Eight little letters in a row

That men have spoken through the ages

I love you (repeated several times)

We say it in the songs we sing

We're read it in the things of spring

Or as the PS of a letter

A little cliché, quickly said

Familiar as our daily bread

Yet nothing seems to say it better

I might have said a hundred things

My phrases might have taken wings

Free the world or region hold and clever

But every time I seem to stall

Or three small words to say it all

Three little words that spell: forever

I'll shout it from the highest roof

I'll carve it in the trunks of trees

I'll tell the whispering breeze about you

I cannot hide it anymore

I cannot say it any less

I might as well confess: I love you.
