Song | These Three Words |
Artist | Stevie Wonder |
Album | Music From The Movie "Jungle Fever" |
Lyrics:Stevie Wonder Music:Stevie Wonder | |
When was the last time | |
That they heard you say | |
Mother or father, I love you | |
And when was the last time | |
That they heard you say | |
Daughter or son, I love you | |
Ones you say you cherish everyday | |
Can instantly be taken away | |
Then you'd say I know this can't be true | |
When you never took the time | |
To simply tell them "I love you" | |
When was the last time | |
That they heard you say | |
Sister or brother, I love you | |
And when was the last time | |
That they heard you say | |
Darling or best friend, I love you | |
The one for whom you'd give your very life | |
Could be taken in the twinkling of an eye | |
Through your tears you'd ask why did you go | |
Knowing you'd didn't always show | |
Just how much you loved them so | |
These three words | |
Sweet and simple | |
These three words | |
Short and kind | |
These three words | |
Always kindles | |
An aching heart to smile inside | |
I know a family | |
Who hasn't a cent to their name | |
And yet the joy and love they have between them | |
They always claim | |
And when one's called from life | |
The survived mourn the lost | |
And will never be the same | |
Yet they rejoice | |
In knowing they gave them their all | |
These three words | |
Sweet and simple | |
These three words | |
Short and kind | |
These three words | |
Always kindles | |
(repeat and fade) |
