Never Told You

Tired of talking ‘bout weather Other trivial things Tired of talking ‘bout food The price of tangerines You may outlive This aging man Before I go Please understand Never told you how I love you When I held you In the dark Never told you how I love you I was never Very smart I never told you how I love you When I kissed your Baby face Never told you how I love you And I pray it’s Not too late I would tell you, “That’s what men do…manly men don’t say, ‘I love you’” That was my alibi But what men do should be corrected What men do can’t be accepted If it makes your woman cry Tired of talking ‘bout scandals Rumors of the day Tired of talking ‘bout old mistakes Who deserves the blame? The Winter of our lives Is drawing near Let’s change it to Spring From year to year Now I’m telling you I love you Though the words are coming late I’m telling you I love you And it feels so good to say I’ll love you in the morning Love you through the night I will love you through the tears And all the tragedies of life I’ll stay with you forever Love you every day Love you, love you, love you It feels so good to say Love you, love you, love you, baby Feels so good to say….. Love
