How Much Do I Love You

How much do I Love you...
are there words to tell you so?
How many trees are in the forest;
how long will the mighty rivers flow?
How far is the farthest star,
that you still can see the glow?

Can my love for you be defined
by number, distance or amount?
Can you measure all the snowflakes
far atop the highest mount?
Are there words that can describe it?
Is there any way to count?

I cannot say how much I Love you;
cannot describe how much I care.
How dear you are to me, my darling, 
there is no way I can declare.
I only know that with you in my life
my heart is filled beyond compare!
