Do You Have To Let It Linger...

In A Word

If I could tell you in a word
How deeply these feelings flow,
And how with every passing night and day
They only seem to grow.
I'd search the whole world over
'Til eternal darkness fell,
I'd climb the stairway to Heaven
And walk through the fires of hell.
If I could show you in a glance
How much I really care,
I'd look up to the deep blue skies
And on wings I'd take you there.
I'd show you things of such beauty
That no one before you knew,
And I'd show you all of the beautiful things
I see when I look at you.
If I could show you in a word
I'd look to the Heavens above,
And all the angels would wisper to me
"The word you search for is 'LOVE' ".
