These Three Words

I've got three words on my mind

One is me, one you, and a lucky find

Without the pressure of letting go

I know that this is everything I know:

That when you're gone I feel lost

And to touch you, I'd pay any cost

Based on feelings, it must be true

That you feel for me what I feel for you



And these three words have been written a million times

Sometimes they're true, but usually they're blind

However, this time- I'd give my life if I am proven wrong

And when I miss you, this emptiness is so strong

So please tell me if I'm making up these words

That without me, your life just seems absurd

And when you see me, you feel the same thing, too

Please reassure me you feel for me what I feel for you

These three words must be true



I've written letters and songs a hundred times

Each word has been given meaning and usually tends to rhyme

But, though I play I do know that one thing must be true

I know I feel for you what you feel for me, believe me- I do

I'd sail the sea, drive a day, and I'd do anything for you

In my darkest hour, I can hear your voice, my skies turn blue

And when you're gone, I feel so incomplete

Like I have fallen and I'm struggling to get back on my feet



And those three words have been written a million times

Sometimes they're true, but usually they're blind

However, this time- I'd give my life if I am proven wrong

And when I miss you, this emptiness is so strong

So please tell me if I'm making up these words

That without me, your life just seems absurd

And when you see me, you feel the same thing, too

Please reassure me you feel for me what I feel for you

These three words must be true



I know that you feel for me what I feel for you

And I know that these three words are so powerful, but true

I've said them a thousand times but I've never felt the way I do

I miss, I adore, faithfully I'm yours, and I LOVE YOU...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The first of many songs for Barbara. You've been the best thing in my life in such a long, long time.  I truly hope you are part of my life forever more.
