These Three Words - The Hit Co.

When was the last time

That they heard you say

Mother or father I love you

And when was the last time

That they heard you say

Daughter or son I love you

Ones you say you cherish everyday

Can instantly be taken away

Then you'd say I know this can't be true

When you never took the time

To simply tell them "I love you"

When was the last time

That they heard you say

Sister or brother I love you

And when was the last time

That they heard you say

Darling or best friend I love you

The one for whom you'd give your very life

Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye

Through your tears you'd ask why did you go

Knowing you'd didn't always show

Just how much you loved them so

These three words

Always kindles

An aching heart to smile inside

I know a family

Who hasn't a cent to their name

And yet the joy and love they have between them

They always claim

And when one's called from life

The survived mourn the lost

And will never be the same

Yet they rejoice

In knowing they gave them their all
