I've never felt this way about anyone before...
Well, you've probably heard that
Hundreds of times, maybe more
From others that have loved you; they loved you too.
I think I love you more than they ever did.
In fact, I'm sure.
But, hey, I think you've heard that
Hundreds of times, maybe more.
You keep saying you'll hurt me one day...
But, even if I knew you'd someday lead me
Right into Death's arms instead of yours,
I would happily live to that day, and use my last breath
To tell you I honestly always loved you.
But I know you've repeatedly heard that already
Hundreds of times, possibly more.
Should I even waste my breath anymore?
Every last thing I tell you
Has already been said , so what should I say?
Is there anything I can say to you
That will take your breath away?
I want to live with you, for better or for worse...
I always want to live, with you by my side, of course.
If ever you ask me if I've seen a sight so grand,
I want to look into your eyes and say, "Baby, I've seen it."
I want to take your strong, yet soft hands
And hear you say "I love you," and mean it.
Should I practice my speech and memorize my lines?
I'd do anything to see you smile and watch your heart soar...
But, I'm positive someone's already told you that
A thousand times, perhaps even more.
