Three Simple Words
Byron A. Wells 1963 (Hawaii)
How can I love you
These three simple words
Fully express what flows from my heart?
How can I love you
Show how much you've touched my heart
And compels me to give my all for you?
I love you, three simple words.
Three simple words that are powerful
Yet gentle enough to mold the course of our lives.
I love you!
Such a simple caress from my lover's lips.
Three simple words that make my heart sing.
How can I love you
These three simple words
Move mountains and break down walls
And bring two together as one?
My love, I may not know the answers to these questions and more.
But this one thing I know for sure!
With these three simple yet truly profound words
My heart is forever with thee secure.
