Inked Affection By Larry Chadwick To Nancy Lee I whispered my love to you and I liked how it felt. Then I spoke my feelings to you knowing I was safe. What I had spoken with my lips I passed to you in a kiss and I knew it was right. I found my body longing to express my heart. And so ached to ink for you my commitment with my signature. I had never walked a trail that meant as much to me as that aisle. So I must confess I’d like to shout my love to the world but instead I thought I’d tell everyone I know… “That I am so in love with you.” February 16, 2006 If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
