When a Thousand Times

When a thousand times I’ve said I love you,

And meant it from my deepest soul,

And my words have often wooed you,

Are there any other words to say?

When a thousand times I’ve kissed you,

And held you in my arms so tight,

And so tenderly caressed you,

Can I show you any other way?

When a thousand times I’ve seen you,

And marvelled at your beauteous face,

When your glory has enthralled me,

Is there anymore to see?

Yes, a thousand times I’ll tell you!

Of the love my heart sustains,

Oh, a thousand times I’ll hold you!

Yet the passion still remains.

When a thousand times I’ve seen you,

And your beauty turns to age,

For a thousand thousand times I'll love you,

Till I close my life's last page.

Maybe in that other world, I'll find you,

Where life does not dim with time,

When a thousand is no longer,

I'll spend eternity with you.
