We Still Say "I Love You"

Wallace Dean LaBenne

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
