Lyric These Three Words

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 you tears you d ask why did you go
Knowing you didn t always show
Just how much you loved them so
