Hear the song Words of Love here
It's really tough to find new ways
To say I love you every day.
The same words on a daily basis
Seems to mean not love, but stasis.
English words I do adore,
but I wish they offered more
Ways in which I could express
The love I find I must confess.
I could say je t'aime, but gee,
Would I pronounce it painfully.
Te quiero’s the Spanish phrase,
But would it set your heart ablaze?
Would I win your love medallion
With ti amo in Italian?
If I said jag älskar dig
In Swedish, would you zag or zig?
Ich liebe dich are words I know
I could pronounce, but even so
These words in German, said with zeal
Do not sound soft, but hard as steel.
If I could just have my way,
I'd invent new words to say,
Something novel that would show
The love I feel I must bestow.
Chorus:
Yes I find it really tough
Coming up with words enough
