ALL THE GOOD PHRASES

 

 

 

All the good phrases have already been quoted

By sage and poet and they who have wroted

Kipling, Shakespeare, many a noted

Keates and shelley on who we all doted

 

So how will I tell you I love you?

How will you know that I care?

When all the stanzas and phrases

Have been used before I was there?

 

Roses by Shakespeare and Burns

In poems and song long-term

Have in hearts for generations been burn’d

There ‘aint nothing’ new can be learned

 

But, I love you, I love you, I love you

I can’t say it another way

I love you, I love you, I love you

For eternity

That’s all I have to say.
