(ANONYMOUS)
Amid the cares of married strife
— In spite of toil and business life
If you value your dear wife —
— — Tell her so!
When days are dark and deeply blue
— She has her troubles, same as you
Show her that your love is true
— — Tell her so!
Don’t act as if she’s past her prime
— As tho’ to please her were a crime
If ever you loved her, now’s the time —
— — Tell her so!
She’ll return for each caress
— A hundred fold of tenderness,
Hearts like hers were made to bless;
— — Tell her so!
You are hers and hers alone;
— Well you know she’s all your own;
Don’t wait to carve it on a stone —
— — Tell her so!
Never let her heart grow cold
— Richer beauties will unfold
She is worth her weight in gold
— — Tell her so!
