"The ''I Love You'' Song (Je t'aime / English Version)" lyrics

I love you, I love you, I love you
I love—
I love you, I love you, I love you
My love

I wish there was another way
To say the thing I want to say
And not to have to say, "I love you"
Another way to make a start
To tell you what is in my heart
And how my every thought is of you
To find a phrase that says as well
The secret that I long to tell
I've scanned the dictionary's pages
But back to "I love you" I go
Eight little letters in a row
That men have spoken through the ages

I love you, I love you, I love you
My love

We say it in the songs we sing
We read it in the fades of spring
Or as the PS of a letter
A little cliché, quickly said
Familiar as our daily bread
Yet nothing seems to say it better
I might have said a hundred things
My phrases might have taken wings
Oui, the world's original and clever
But every time I seem to stall
On three small words that say it all
Three little words that spell "forever"
I shout it from the highest roofs
I'll carve it in the trunks of trees
I'll tell the whispering breeze about you
I cannot hide anymore
I cannot say it any less
I might as well confess, I love you

I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
My love, I love you
My love
