To hear you laugh makes my heart smile
Because of you I haven’t cried in awhile
To hear your sweet voice, confirms what I know
I’m so lucky, on me your love you bestow

To hear you sad brings pain to my heart
I’m next to you, even though we are so far apart
To hear your pain, I must listen close
To hear all your words not only the ones I chose

To hear you say, whatever you say
Gives me the spark I need to go the whole day
To hear you say the words I love you
Coming from you it must be true
