Tell Him

Sweet sweet SWEET tell him
Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got and
tell him...

Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect
& not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things end
and tell him...

I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
Oooh and love is not loud

Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
to the love that was shown when our lives were spared
and tell him...

Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It'll be alright
