The 'I Love You' Song - Pete Yorn
I love you I love you I love you
my love
I love you I love you I love you
my love
I wish there was another way
To say the thing I want to say
And not to have to say I love you
Another way to make a start
To tell you what is in my heart
And how my every thoughts is of you
To find a phrase that says as well
The secret that I long to tell
I've scanned the dictionary's pages
But back to 'I love you' I'll go
Eight little letters in a row
That men have spoken through the ages
I love you I love you I love you my love
they say it in the songs we sing
We're read it in the things of spring
Or as the PS of a letter
A little cliche, quickly said
Familiar as our daily bread
Yet nothing seems to say it better
I might have said a hundred things
My phrases might have taken wings
Free the world or region hold and clever
But every time I seem to stall
Or three small words to say it all
Three little words that spell forever
I'll shout it from the highest roof
I'll carve it in the trunks of trees
I'll tell the whispering breeze about you
I cannot hide it anymore
I cannot say it any less
I might as well confess I love you
I love you I love you I love you
my love
I love you I love you I love you
my love
I love you I love you I love you
my love
love you my love
