A Million Love Songs Poem by Gordon Merritt

Think of every love song
that ever touched your heart
Put them down on paper
and select the sweetest parts
Put them all together
with the perfect melody
And still they couldn't start to say
the things you mean to me

For words are only words my love
and words could never say
The way you make me feel inside
That very special way
Mere words just lack the emphasis
They only say a part
of the love that I possess for you
So deep within my heart

I guess I'm really saying this
to make you realize
I'm feeling something deep inside
of monumental size
It's taken much too long
for me to say right from the start
That it would take a million love songs
to say what's in my heart
