Tell Them

The number of times I think of you each day Is immeasurable, my sweet sweet love It's like trying to count the stars in the sky each night Just know this my love, you are the reason I exist Why I breathe, why I wake each morn with gladness in my heart Joy in my soul, I have a serenity I've never before experienced Words don't do justice for this feeling of love This feeling of utter passion that's invaded my heart and soul Oh joy, oh joy, what greater thrill If I was to meet my maker tomorrow I can honestly say, I have loved and been loved After all is said and done, what greater thrill in life is there Everything else is superficial Because what you'll remember for when your number is called Are those dear souls who enriched your life Who gave you a feeling of belonging Who gave you a reason for it all There may be many but those with the greatest impact are few And you'll be remembered until your dying day So while you still can...
