How Many Times

How many times must I say that I love you Before it starts sounding too much And how many times will I thrill at your beauty Or I'm overcome by your touch Oh and how many times must I tell you I love you Before I can say it no more The answer my love is written in the stars The answer is written in the stars Apologies to Bob Dylan © Jack Ellison 2013

When the answer is not flowing in the wind as in the song, it is definitely written in the stars, as in here!

Dragon said seee Pappa Jack knows!... Dragon wants tons of 'I Love You's' from his family... Then basks in the attention a few seconds before wanting more... I told him when the stars twinkle at night... That's what they're telling him... It worked... Dragon is so busy basking in the stars' I Love You's... That we're getting WAY more sleep at night!... LOL... You solved that problem... Good going Papa Jack...(That's what I call you in front of Dragon)... You are family after all!

Fantastic. I got man-goosebumps from this. All I could think about was Roger Rabbit declaring his love for Jessica...one-one thousand, two-one thousand...
