There are those who think that love comes
With a lifetime guarantee
But we know from those around us
That this may not always be
It's the simple things
That come between
A father and a son
But when they try to talk
The knives are out
Before they have begun;

Well that was me
And I have seen
The light that shines for eternity
Because I learned to say
The words "I love you;"

So many hearts have been broken
By the lies of history
And so many arms are still open
For that final mystery;
We must show respect
For all the rest
And what a man believes
And the one who died
Upon the cross
Well he is the one for me
And he said
"Come with me
And you will see
The light that shines for eternity
Be strong and learn to say
The words "I love you;"

And this endless road that we are on
Just keeps on going round
But there's one destination
That always is here to be found;

So come with me
And you will see
The light that shines for eternity
Be strong and learn to say
The words "I love you,"
Be strong and learn to say
The words "I love you,"
The words "I love you,"
The words "I love you,"
The words "I love you."
