Analysis of We Still Say "I Love You"
We remain together
in sorrows and tears
We still say "I love you"
throughout our many fears
We remain together
in triumphs and wins
We still say "I love you"
throughout our many spins
We remain together
in conflicts and feuds
We still say "I love you"
throughout our many moods
We remain together
in slapstick and quips
We still say "I love you"
throughout our many trips
We remain together
in problems and trials
We still say "I love you"
throughout our many styles
We remain together
in applause and cheers
We still say "I love you"
throughout our many years
