That's how I say.

When I’m out on the road,

And you want to explode,

I won’t go astray,

That’s how I say…I love you.

Playing song after song,

As my hair has grown long,

And showing a touch of gray,

That’s how I say…I love you.

We’ll go through a drought,

Our lives full of doubt,

Got nothing but a wildflower bouquet,

That’s how I say…I love you.

When you’re gone sun to sun,

Living off one income,

A T.V.  Dinner’s   is on your tray,

That’s how I say…I love you.

It may seem unfair,

But we don’t need daycare,

You’ll return to a loving array,

That’s how I say…I love you.

I take a break now and then,

And start writing again

As we take things day by day.

That’s how I say…I love you.

They say there’s no time,

Get your butt back on line,

My life is in total dismay.

All I can say, Is that I love you.

You’re the love I long for,

And you've heard this before,

What I say is not a cliche.

It’s just how I say, I love you…

My guitar in its case

I've got girls in my face,

And I just pull away

That’s how I say, I love you

The boys throw a fit,

Could be hitting on it,

I don't listen any way. 

That’s how I say, I love you.

This poem is so long

I could go on and on,

So many different ways,

To say, how much I love you,

There’s no way to end,

So I’ll start it again,

I hope, you feel the same way,

So many ways, to say…I love you.
