Distant Is the Music

How can I not love you? Each day I see, you smile
But cannot hear the joy your laughter brings
So distant is the music your voice sings
Yet it is your love that makes my life worthwhile.
My loyal dreams for you my mind beguile
With simple visions of those wondrous things
That can’t be granted by any royal kings
Still my heart’s yearnings remain in denial.
Say it! Say you love me - three little words
My heart would render its passion as yours
So love could fly as free as soaring birds.
Your silence leaves me broken once again
All around me, I hear the closing doors
Yet just three words could ease my heart of pain.
