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.
