It started with a word,
You said it when you met me
And then my world turned
So I’d like to tell you three.
That day you said “hello”
Your blue eyes smiled softly,
Now you want to go,
Too much rum in my coffee.
I never said those three.
The three words I’ve been thinking
Will they set me free?
This ship ‘s bound to sinking
Those three words are burning
Yet their meaning remains true,
And as my world ‘s turning,
Dare I say : I love you
