In Three Little Words

Verse 1
In the bedtime stories
My mother used to read to me,
Love conquered everything
Endings were always happely.
Darling being with you
That is where I see us going,
Into a fairetale love
Don't you see all the sign's showing.

Chorus
In three little words, I love you,
In one short sentence Marry me.
You are truely a dream come true,
You're the rose I could never be.
In three little words, I love you.

Verse 2
My dad used to tell me
That if a man loves a woman,
He should tell her straight out
Be the one to take the first stand.
I did and here we are
Sharing everything life brings,
Let me hold your hand for
Only then can the angels sing.

Chorus
In three little words, I love you,
In one short sentence Marry me.
You are truely a dream come true,
You're the rose I could never be.
In three little words, I love you

Bridge
Your a kiss from heaven
If I may put it that way,
Your the smiling sunshine
Within my life every day.
And I want to thank you,
For always staying true.

Chorus
In three little words, I love you,
In one short sentence Marry me.
You are truely a dream come true,
You're the rose I could never be.
In three little words, I love you

Not a bad piece of writing here.  I don't usually like reading songs, they're better to hear than to read... 'cause I don't know how you'd be singing this.

Still, thanks for sharing.

Allan

Another great song.
As somewhat of a song writer myself I appreciate how hard it actually is to write a good song, one that flows, makes sense and has the ability to be put to music.  In all of your songs I can imagine the music.
The simplicity of the chorus really hits home and it suits the style of the song, although I, like Alan, have no idea how you'd sing it I can gain a relative idea from the ideas and flow of the writing.
Well done.
