The Words "I Love You"

There are those who think that love comes

With a lifetime guarantee

But we know from those around us

That this may not always be

It's the simple things

That come between

A father and a son

But when they try to talk

The knives are out

Before they have begun;

Well that was me

And I have seen

The light that shines for eternity

Because I learned to say

The words "I love you;"

So many hearts have been broken

By the lies of history

And so many arms are still open

For that final mystery;

We must show respect

For all the rest

And what a man believes

And the one who died

Upon the cross

Well he is the one for me

And he said

"Come with me

And you will see

The light that shines for eternity

Be strong and learn to say

The words "I love you;"

And this endless road that we are on

Just keeps on going round

But there's one destination

That always is here to be found;

So come with me

And you will see

The light that shines for eternity

Be strong and learn to say

The words "I love you,"

Be strong and learn to say

The words "I love you,"

The words "I love you,"

The words "I love you,"

The words "I love you."
