Lyrics

Verse 1:
Fourteen years old, breakfast made,
I told my mom, “I love you always.”
She laughed and said, “That’s sweet, my dear,
But when I’m home, let me feel it clear.

Peel the potatoes, set the plate,
Love is in action, it won’t wait.”
Her words would echo through my mind,
Love’s a verb you need to find.

Verse 2:
My cat’s my king, my softest pride,
“I adore you!” I’d confide.
But Dad would grin, “Show you care,
Clean his box and meet him there.”

I didn’t get it, not back then,
Love was bigger than my words again.
A million whispers, loud as thunder,
Acts of care are love’s true wonder.

Pre-Chorus:
Years roll by, the truth’s exposed,
Love isn’t spoken, it’s composed.
In quiet deeds, it comes alive,
That’s the way it will survive.

Chorus:
Love is more than words, it’s fire and steel,
It’s building bridges, it’s what you feel.
It’s a dress for a doll, a homemade design,
It’s the silent scream of “You’re forever mine!”
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, you’re forever mine!)

Verse 3:
Mom at the window, twice a day,
Smuggled meals, her quiet way.
Paper dresses, bows, and lace,
Dreams of love drawn into space.

She never said “I love you” loud,
But every act made her love proud.
Her hands were brushes, life the art,
She painted love straight from the heart.

Pre-Chorus:
A paralyzed dog, wheels on his frame,
Owners who love him just the same.
It’s midnight tea, a tucked-in bed,
Love’s a journey where hearts are led.

Chorus:
Love is more than words, it’s fire and steel,
It’s building bridges, it’s what you feel.
It’s a dress for a doll, a homemade design,
It’s the silent scream of “You’re forever mine!”
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, you’re forever mine!)

Bridge:
It’s the hands that mend what’s torn,
The quiet gifts of love reborn.
Fix the blanket, change the tune,
Turn dark nights to silver moons.

It’s unwrapped sweets on a plate,
Acts of love that couldn’t wait.
A thousand stars in simple skies,
In tiny acts, true love lies.

Chorus:
Love is more than words, it’s fire and steel,
It’s building bridges, it’s what you feel.
It’s a dress for a doll, a homemade design,
It’s the silent scream of “You’re forever mine!”
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, you’re forever mine!)

Outro:
Don’t let words fall empty and gray,
Love’s in what you do, not just what you say.
It’s the world in a whisper, the touch of a hand,
It’s the language of love we all understand.
