When I say I love you

Folder: 
2004

I hold an old picture of you in my hand

so I can feel close to you from where I stand

I close my eyes, hold it tight

wishing I could find you but your out of my sight

I wish I could see you once more

the way you used to be before

I just think back to all the memories we have

but when I look back I have to ask



chorus

when I say I love you

do you know how much I really do

it's not just a routine

these words I really mean

before you go

I want you to know

every word is true

when I say I love you



it's hard to look back and see

the way that things used to be

then look to the way things are now

and sometimes I wonder how

you used to be so strong

now your almost gone

and now I'm trying to find a way

to tell you what I want to say

chorus



you've always been there for me

now it's my turn to be

there for you

and thats what I'm gonna do

cause I love you more than words say

I love you more and more everyday

and before you go

I just want you to know

chorus
