I yearn to say just four words
before my time to die
And if you ever hear these words
you’ll know the reasons why
These four words I do treasure
and I trust someday you’ll see
that the value in these words
are worth more to you than me
I yearn to say just four words
and pray they end our strife
I fear these words will go unsaid
the remainder of my life
These four words I hold dear
and hope they will be heard
but first I need to hear from you
before my final word
I yearn to say just four words
before it’s time to go
If you show that you don’t care
these words you’ll never know
But if you want to hear these words
this is what you do
Speak the three forgotten words
before my “I love you too”
