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."
