I Never Told You So
Your love has always been for me
a place where I could find
a haven for my troubled mind --
and leave the world behind.
Peace and love that I found there
are found in all my songs,
but nowhere in the words I wrote
are rights that undo wrongs.
I always thought you knew how much
I’ve always loved you so.
I guess I really never knew
just why it didn’t show.
Now I’ve finally found the truth -
Yes, now I know it’s so.
I’ve finally solved the mystery --
I never really told you so.
Through all the years that we’ve been one
you’d think I would have known
the pain of words I never spoke
hid love that was not shown.
You, who means the most to me –
Seems you’re the last to know.
My actions must have been enough –
Yet, how I wish I’d told you so.
With all my soul, I love you so!
