April Fool
Although this is a simple song—
A song of love I wrote for you—
I do not fail to comprehend
Complexity in all we do,
For I would be an April Fool
On this our anniversary:
I offer more than flower or jewel
To show how much you are to me.
I’ve loved you more than half my life;
I loved you long before you knew,
And when you promised to be my wife,
I felt no doubt in my own “I do.”
For I would be an April Fool
On this our anniversary:
I offer more than flower or jewel
To show how much you are to me.
Although this is a simple song—
A song of love I wrote for you—
I offer more than flower or jewel:
I said it all when I said, “I do!”
For we would be two April Fools
On this our anniversary:
We offer more than flowers or jewels
We said it all when we said, “I do.”
