Have I told you lately how I want you?
To forever hold you in my embrace,
And to give my love without failing,
as I bask in your beauty and grace.
Have I told you lately how I want you?
To gaze into your wondrous eyes so blue,
to plumb the depths of your soul through those windows
and kindle your heart’s love anew.
Have I told you lately how I want you?
To feel your body pressed against mine,
to feel the beat of your heart against me
as we lay there and slowly entwine.
Have I told you lately how I want you?
When you’re feeling down or angry or tired,
to listen and comfort and hold you
with feelings of love deeply inspired.
Have I told you lately how I want you?
How I long to be close to your side?
Have I shared with you
my thoughts and my dreams
of a life and a love undenied.
Have I told you lately how I want you?
