Amid the cares of married strife
In spite of toil and business life
If you value your dear wife—
Tell her so!
When days are dark and deeply blue
She has her troubles, same as you
Show her that your love is true
Tell her so!
Don’t act as if she’s past her prime
As tho’ to please her were a crime
If ever you loved her, now’s the time—
Tell her so!
She’ll return for each caress
A hundred-fold of tenderness,
Hearts like hers were made to bless;
Tell her so!
You are hers and hers alone;
Well you know she’s all your own;
Don’t wait to carve it on a stone—
Tell her so!
Never let her heart grow cold
Richer beauties will unfold
She is worth her weight in gold
Tell her so!
