Three Simple Words

Three simple words

I rehearse three words a thousand times
And it always bring tears to my eyes
But I can never let her know
Cause a man not suppose to cry

But it’s all this love I feel inside
I try so much to make it hide
But every time I see her smile
My emotion goes to over ride

Three simple words “I love you” 
Is the hardest thing for me to say?
I keep it hidden in my heart
But it keeps growing every day

When she talks to me 
I melt like the morning snow
And I love her more than life its self
But I’m afraid to let her know

If I say the three words “I love you?
And she don’t feel the same way to
I will just fall to my knees and die
Cause I won’t know what to do

My heart would be broken 
And I won’t know how to improvise
And I could never stop the tears 
From falling from my eyes

So I keep rehearsing the three words
And keep putting of till tomorrow
But what if god calls me home tonight
Then she will never know

And she will never know of this love 
That’s lives deep in side of me
A love that will remain long after I’m gone
From now until eternity

I use to be afraid of life’s uncertainties
But all that change when I met you
With The strength that I found in you
Made me feel there’s nothing I can’t do

I love everything little thing about her
And I want to tell her so much
The way she talks with her cute accent
Her sweet voice asking “I’m I talking too much

And I would say “are you kidding me
And I would tell her “never
And I would just get lost in her beauty
And listen to her talk about anything forever

Just three little words “I love you
I’m so afraid to confess so keep hidden
Maybe I cause ’m just a human being
You she’s an angel from heaven

Until that day I get the courage to tell her
I will keep on rehearsing
And the time reach that I do
I will kneel in front her with a ring
