Speak a word of love
that I can remember
whenever I long for you
and you're not there,
when I touch the pillow
of our empty bed
empty without you
thinking of having you by my side.
Speak a word of love to me
that wakes me up in the morning
and lets me fall asleep with a smile
before I see you in my dreams again.
Speak a word of love
but let it be your lips
whispering it to mine.
