Counting Love

I've whispered I love you, a million times And I've given you ten- thousand kisses I've written my love in five- thousand rhymes An offering, your heart just dismisses I've wiped at least a hundred-thousand tears Whenever your sadness needed my sleeve I've been by your side for twenty-two years 'Til you decided you wanted to leave A thousand regrets imprisoned my mind At least a dozen for each day we shared I want back the love my heart had enshrined For you will know that I'm sorry I cared You've asked me to give it just one more try I'm tired of counting, I'm saying goodbye
