It’s going to be my wife’s birthday soon, and I haven’t thought up a poem for that yet, so here’s a song I wrote and sung for her one year. She couldn’t stop smiling all the way through, for some reason…

Would it help… ?

Would it help if I told you that I loved you?
Would you take me at my word If I said you’re my precious one?
Could I claim to be your friend, to be faithful to the end?
Maybe, but actions speak louder than words,
You know, actions speak louder than words.

Could I impress you with a vision of the future?
All the places that we’ll go, the things that we’ll achieve?
Could I sweep you off your feet with a poem oh so sweet?
Maybe, but actions speak louder than words,
Oh yeah, actions speak louder than words.

It’s easy to make a promise, but hard to see it through
Words themselves don’t count for much, unless they’re proven true.
Take my hand and help me stand, help me be a better man,
Because actions speak louder than words,
Come on, actions speak louder than words.
