Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Three little words,
Oh, what I'd give for that wonderful phrase
To hear those three little words
That's all I'd live for the rest of my days.

And what I feel in heart they tell sincerely,
No other words can tell it half so clearly.
Three little words, eight little letters
Which simply mean I love you
