Have I Told You Lately

Have I told you lately just how much I love you,
or how your gentle smile can melt my heart?
Have I mentioned how your whispered words can touch my very soul
and still warm me in the moments we're apart?

Have I told you how I'd feel without your arms to hold me close,
or how empty life would seem without you there...
Whether it's the times we spend with family and friends,
or the "just-us-two" together times we share?

Have I told you how I've watched your restful face
when you're asleep and the tender fascination that I feel?

If I haven't told you lately,
it's because there are no words
to express a love this close and deep and real.
