I just now realized
Like I have on some occasions
About ten thousand times before

That you love me

I love our feigning battle
To profess our adoration
To see who loves each other more

Could it be continuous?

I love you
A daisy petal falls

I love you more
Another hits the floor


There’s no dying to this flower
We’ve revolved it o’er and o’er
There’s no “love-me-nots” to share
Just “I love you” “I love you more”

Plummet petals into the pond
If they float up to your door
All their passion will be noted
You will answer, “I love you more”

So how can I proceed with love
“I love you so”, “you love me more”
Would a kiss and close embrace
Help me settle the phantom score

I think we both could say our love
Grows more and more each day
And though the daisy is threadbare
The roots of love will stay

I love you

I love you more

This, the song

That I adore…

some great thoughts here, subject is cool.  i like this part the most...

So how can I proceed with love
“I love you so”, “you love me more”
Would a kiss and close embrace
Help me settle the phantom score

phantom score - nice choice of words.

this is quite a song
but whos gonna sing it
know, you cant go wrong
so why not just bring it
