These Three Words

[00:14.02] When was the last time
[00:15.93] That they heard you say
[00:19.43] "Mother or father, I love you"?
[00:26.14] And when was the last time
[00:28.51] That they heard you say
[00:31.95] "Daughter or son, I love you"?
[00:38.19] Ones you say you cherish every day
[00:44.41] Can instantly be taken away
[00:50.78] Then you'd say "I know this can't be true"
[00:56.18] When you never took the time
[00:59.15] To simply tell them "I love you"
[01:03.95] When was the last time
[01:05.10] That they heard you say
[01:09.25] "Sister or brother, I love you"?
[01:16.31] And when was the last time
[01:18.60] That they heard you say
[01:21.75] "Darling or best friend, I love you"?
[01:28.03] The one for whom you'd give your very life
[01:34.42] Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye
[01:40.44] Through your tears you'd ask "Why did you go?"
[01:46.18] Knowing you didn't always show
[01:49.04] Just how much you loved them so

[02:34.31] I know a family
[02:36.13] Who hasn't a cent to their name
[02:39.46] And yet the joy and love they have between them
[02:43.16] They always claim
[02:45.55] And when one's called from life
[02:47.20] The survived mourn the lost
[02:48.96] And will never be the same
[02:51.71] Yet they rejoice
[02:53.50] In knowing they gave them their all
