These Three Words Lyrics

When was the last time

That they heard you say

"Mother or Father, I love you"?

And when was the last time

That they heard you say

"Daughter or Son, I love you"?

Ones, you say you cherish every day

Can, instantly be taken away

Then, you’d ask why did you have to go

Knowing you didn’t always show

Just how much you loved them so

When was the last time

That they heard you say

"Sister or Brother, I love you"?

And when was the last time

That they heard you say

"Darling or best friend, I love you"?

The one to whom you'd give your very life

Could, be taken in the twinkling of an eye

Through, the tears you'd say "Why did you go?"

Knowing you didn't always show

Just how much you loved them so

These three words

Sweet and simple

These three words

Short and kind

These three words

Always kindle

An aching heart to smile inside

I know a family

Without a penny to their name

And yet the love and joy they share between them

They'll always claim

And when one's called from life

Survived mourn the lost

Though will never be the same

They rejoice

Knowing they gave them their all

These three words

Sweet and simple

These three words

Short and kind

These three words

Always kindle

Aching heart

Smile inside

These three words

Short and kind

These three words

Always kindle

These three words

Smile inside
