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."
