Analysis of How Many Ways
How many ways can I say
That you're the one.
My angel from heaven
The only woman
That I could ever want
To share my life with.
Because what we have
Could never be duplicated.
No one will ever have
Your smile, your eyes
Or that look you give me
When I say I love you.
No one could ever replace
The memories we've built
Over a lifetime of love
No one could make me
Feel the way I do
When you walk into a room.
How could any woman
In a brief moment, ever
Give me what you have;
Your heart, your mind
Or your ability to love me
Despite all my weaknesses
I am yours completely
Yesterday, today and forever.
My love for you is infinite
Immeasurable and eternal.
There will never be a reason
To doubt that I am yours
