More Than Words Could Ever Say

The other night, I let you down
and, I never even saw it coming;

the blues music, in the background strumming,
while you played the game.

The other day, you made it crystal clear, to me
how you were angry when we closed our eyes, that night,

and somehow, that doesn't seem quite right,
though I held you just the same;

I count my blessings, for the time I'm sharing with you;
every second, of every hour, of every day;

I'd never again, risk a moment without your sunshine;
and, I mean that.....more than words could ever say.

Thanx, Shirl...

..We only get a few chances at true love.....if this is it for me, I don't want to lose that bit o' sunshine.
Thanx, again...
