Even If I Live Just One Day

you know how much I miss you and how much my heart aches
 I miss you so much, through the ravages of the passage of time
 My tired footsteps bring me to your side, unknowingly
 Even though I know there’s nothing I can do for you

 “I love you” – words I keep shouting in my heart
 “I love you” – words I can only whisper behind your back
 “I love you” – words that I can’t speak for fear they will disappear
 I love you so much it scares me

 Like the galaxy of stars in the night
 Within my sight but out of my reach and touch
 Watching over you is my duty
 Waiting every day till it [bad word] an obsession
 Expectations of you rising above my height

 “I love you” – words I keep shouting in my heart
 “I love you” – words I can only whisper behind your back
 “I love you” – words that I can’t speak for fear they will disappear
 I love you so much it scares me

 I have to confess my love for you today

 Even if I can only live for one day, I wish to be by your side
 Now I’m going to confess, I’m going to say “I love you”
