All These Words

It's been three days since your leaving
It's the longest time that three days could ever be
And I have so much to tell you
I can hardly believe that it's taken so long to say
But now I'm saving all these words until the moment you return
Then I'll tell you at once
You're the one that I love
And you are my everything
There's a road down in a small town with a sign on the side
Says "In loving memory of a young man who would not stand down
When he had to protect his family"
And I almost walked on by when the story caught my eye
And it was sad enough, he did it all for love
But at least that love survived
Now I'm spending all my time just thinking of you and I
And it's all I can do to look right at you
With your hand in my hand
Will you stay with me and spend the rest of your life?
