Tried To Count
Tried To Count
When I saw her she was so sleek
And there together we started to speak
Words of love we had for each other
Now know what it means to be a lover.
Love was strong and would not dwindle
Strong as fire and another did kindle
That still slowly would perpetually burn
For each others love we always did yearn.
Love leaped and kept growing and growing
And like a full glass soon started overflowing
As a liquid of our love had been put in
Continually flowing over and over again.
Even after we are old still to each other say
Will love one another and it won't pass away
But into and through eternity will live on
Bright as stars and sun in next new dawn.
Wouldn't you want to receive a love like this?
Be overwhelmed and overcome by its bliss
Until grasping and reaching for our dying days
How long love lasted tried to count the ways.
