There’s something much, much more important
than the millionth “I love you”
I’ll silently hold you
so you can become happy here in my arms

My honey, grab my arm

and follow me into my dream
There’ll be tears and laughter
but I won’t sing a loveless song
I won’t say you should believe me right away
but just come a little closer and stand by me
Love songs are a bit embarrassing
but I can’t not sing

I can’t just say those special words
those warm, sweet words every day
So I wanted to at least tell you in ordinary words
in life-sized words

It’s quicker to hold you tight
than to say the millionth “I love you”
I’m easily embarrassed
so it’s the best I can do
I don’t want those scripted words
when I’ve really and truly fallen in love
I’ll silently hold you
so you can become happy here in my arms

I want a happy life, a future with ups and downs
If bad things happen
there’ve got to be good things, too
so let’s keep singing as we walk

If you want those special words
those warm, sweet words
just wait a little longer

There’s something much, much more important

than the millionth “I love you”
All alone in a dark room
I wondered what I could do for you
But when you really love someone
you’ve got to gird your loins
not rack your brains
It always starts with wanting to hold you
and putting those feelings into action

When you’ve been hurt
and when you blame yourself
I’ll hold you tightly and whisper in your ear
“Is anyone perfect? Is life ever perfect?”
People don’t always do things they can be proud of
you’ve got to embrace it all
so come on, look up

Just having you by my side, I can feel more warmth
than from the millionth “I love you”
I feel like just holding you gives me more strength
than the millionth “I love you”
