IF I TOLD YOU “I LOVE YOU”


If I told you “I love you”
No less than once a day
For all the wonderful years
We have shared at work and play.

If I thanked you each and every moment
As your smile touched my heart and soul
Always showing that you need me
I still could not complete my goal.

If I gave you affection in a thousand ways
I would fail to fully convey
How much you are my world of joy,
My friend, and my lover, who doesn’t stray.

Our memories of the years past
Give us happiness night and day
Our dreams of tomorrow’s burdens
Are why we choose to pray.

Someday in heaven we will reside
While earth will forget who we are
Side by side as we change to dust
We will live and love behind a star.

So let me say it one more time
I love you more than life itself
Your presence is my joy of joys
For without you I loose myself.
