Analysis of Darling, I Love You!



You are amazing, exciting, refreshingly new
Magical, stimulating, and inspirational too
You're more than the sum of each part
I've looked into your soul and peered into your heart

How could it be, so few have seen?
This beautiful woman, this girl in my dream
I'm honored and blessed to have known for a minute
The lady you are and the love that comes with it.

Some day, some way, somehow, I swear, There will be a time
that each of us to care. If it's to be, part of His plan
A blessing will come, handed down from the Man

Express if could, the wonders you hold, The beauty possessed,
the future untold. Someday may it be, for a second or two
I'll hold that beauty. The beauty that's you!

There is no reward, greater than love, True love, our love,
blessed from above, Two hearts to be joined, in the eyes of the Lord
The price to be paid, we able afford

What is the answer, the words I must find, That wins me your heart, your soul and your mind? What would it take, a king's ransom or two?
Or, the simplest of words, Darling, I love you!
