I Love You the World

You slip and fall to love at all
You fear a certain change
The wonder of a love so small
A lifetime rearranged

I'm ready
'Cause my body tells me so
My eyes aglow
And the day I tell him I love him
Will mean more than he'll ever know

"How much do you love me?"
I'll say, "I love you the world"
"How much do you love me?"
I'll say, "I love you the world"

He'll wonder just how big it is
He'll learn from year to year
My heart, he'll take it
And I know he'll break it
But I'll smile from ear to ear

Embracing him when life began
Still, I am amazed
I've fallen from my feet again
Floating in a daze
He's funny in a way that makes me smile
To be alive
And the way he tells me he loves me
So familiar, I wonder why

"How much do you love me?"
He says, "I love you the world"
"How much do you love me?"
He says, "I love you the world"

He didn't know how big it was
So he stretched from here to here
"This much," he told me
And he reached to hold me
And he smiled from ear to ear
I smiled from ear to ear
