The Words to Say

You'd think that these words
Of a poet would come out
Too metaphorize this
But I've been searching all these years
It's more than the love
That word isn't strong enough
So, I guess we'll have to make one up
Cause love isn't enough
It just isn't enough, love it isn't enough to say
And while you're sleeping
I think to myself, I'm givin' you my name
Now darlin', just keep dreamin'
And one day you'll wake up and forget about all the rest and just move on
And love just isn't enough of a word to say
But I'll still love you every day
Love just isn't enough of a word to write
But I'll love you for the rest of my life
And nothin' else felt right
We both decided not to fight
When I look at your face, nothing there to replace
Nothing more to overcome
I imagine our children
As I see your eyes in them
See in my mother's face and your grandfather's grace
And my father's will to try
And while you're sleeping
I think to myself, I'm givin' you my name
Now darlin', just keep dreamin'
And one day you'll wake up and forget about all the rest and just move on
And love just isn't enough of a word to say
But I'll still love you every day
Love just isn't enough of a word to write
But I'll love you for the rest of my life
