I whispered the words gently
Into your grieving ear
I tried so hard, so desperately
To make sure you could hear

Sweet sugar for the mind
Sticky nectar for the soul
The thoughts that arranged clunkily
When from my lips they rolled

I said it time and time again
'Til repetition was the crime
But the foundation's so vehement
I'd still say it one more time

It's nice to hear you say it once
Even better to hear it more
Reflecting love so deep and unwavering
That it makes my heart feel sore

But now you know and I can have
A night of restful sleep
While my heart elates to heaven's gates
For it knows that you love me
