Those three little words

Are like a mantra in my heart

Over and over, I feel them

Say them to myself

Send them out to you

And they never lose their effect, either

For what they say

Is how I feel all the time

Day after day, those three little words

Never fail to remind me

That the universe gave me

The most rare and wondrous gift

When it provided me with you

And each year, when its time

To celebrate the day you were born

I will always say a grateful

Loving thank you for every fate

That brought us together

And for every reason

That makes me want to say

I Love You

I Love You

I Love You
