I Love You, Dear
Embracing Love: Andreas Devalera's Melody of Gratitude and Contentment
Lyrics
I've got everything I want
I possess everything I desire.
A couple of kids just running through the yard
A couple of children playing freely in the yard.
And I've got a dog that never barks
I have a quiet dog.
And I've got you
I have you in my life.
So I guess it's true
It seems factual that having you completes my desires.
That I'd have everything I hoped for here
If I expressed my love for you, everything I hoped for would be fulfilled in this situation.
If I just said "I love you, dear"
If only I had said "I love you, dear."
If I had said "I love you, dear"
If I had explicitly expressed my love for you.
We've got a van that never runs
We have a van that doesn't work.
It's a project, oh we thought it would be fun
We initially considered it a fun project.
For the road trip that we planned out to the sunny
We planned a road trip to California's sunny shores.
Shores of California
Heading to California.
And I'm torn
I'm conflicted.
'Cause I'd be seeing all those waves of blue
If I expressed love, I'd experience the beauty of the ocean.
If I just said "I love you"
If only I confessed my love.
If I just said "I love you"
If I only told you that I love you.
And we've got a place to call our own
We have a place that feels like home.
It's nothing much, but damn it sure feels like a home
Though not extravagant, it feels like a comforting home.
And I'm not scared that I will ever be alone
I'm not afraid of being alone.
Oh, with you here
As long as you're here.
So I guess it's clear
It's evident.
There'd be no reason for all my fears
If I expressed my love, my fears would dissipate.
If I just said "I love you, dear"
If only I said "I love you, dear."
If I just said "I love you, dear"
If I had only confessed my love.
And he would not exist
He wouldn't be a part of this scenario.
The man who stole your heart and filled your eyes with bliss
A man who captured your heart wouldn't be here.
And I wouldn't have known that from the moment you two kissed
I wouldn't have realized the impact of your connection.
Oh, I'd be obscure
I would be in obscurity.
And I'd never hear
I wouldn't have heard.
Him say the words to you I lost in fear
He wouldn't have expressed his love to you, a sentiment I withheld due to fear.
He'd never say "I love you, dear"
He wouldn't say "I love you, dear," if I had expressed my love.
If I had said "I love you, dear"
If only I had said "I love you, dear."
