She’ll never know

That I sighed when she left today

And lingered in the mist

Of her presence

 

She’ll never know

That I thought about her today

And gave thanks for blessings

I have received

 

She’ll never know

That I missed her badly today

And just wanted to phone

To say hello

 

She’ll never know

That I had a wild dream today

And she starred in a way

That made me blush

 

She’ll never know

That I fought battles for her today

And we rode to victory

Still together

 

She’ll never know

That I felt loneliness today

And was consoled to think

She’d be home soon

 

She’ll never know

That I saw a flower today

And thought of her face

So beautiful

 

She’ll never know

That I smiled silently today

And heard her faint laughter

Echo in me

 

She’ll never know

Except if I tell her today

And the words I will use

Are I love you
