Analysis of How I Love You.



If I could- I'd write a song-
of words my heart can't say,
It sings of Love & Happiness
and Prays for Love to stay,
If I could- I'd spend all my time
making sure that you're ok,
Your every want & all your needs
would consume my everyday,
If I could- I'd buy the world
and wrap it in a bow,
So you know how much you mean
I never want you to go,
If I could- I'd take a star
to place it in a ring-
and put that ring upon your hand
to see the joy it brings,
If I could- I'd make a wish
that all my dreams come true,
I'd close my eyes before I sleep
and dream of loving you.
