If I Told You I Loved You

If I told you I loved you

it wouldn't be enough

I'd be leaving out flowers and candies and stuff

what benefit, if you just knew?

I would tell you are the rain

falling on the May rose pedals

more valuable than precious medals

If I told you I loved you, what would I gain?

If I just said one little phrase

how would you fully know

the commitment of my praise?

So I hope I don't bother, I hope I don't annoy

this is it, I'll say it is so

you fill my heart with endless joy.
