On her lips five special words
Take heed of them
They are not absurd
Not the ones whispered true
Declaring passionately
I’ll be there for you
Or even the sweet sublime
Most romantic
I love you be mine
Nor when you ask on bended knee
For her to be your wife
Will you marry me please
And her answer is second to none
The five words you wish to hear
Yes you’re the only one
For when she is in a dither
Don’t duck or seek shelter from things
Flying hither and thither
Pay attention you have nothing to fear
If you say these five words to her
Yes my love whatever dear
And it may help if you add for good measure, there there there
When she cries out her five special words
I’ve got nothing to wear

Ann,
There is but one answer.
To this age old question.
A man must ponder deeply.
Before uttering these fateful words.
My darling you look smashing.
In pearls and nothing else.
L & S from your M

Listen, I have 2 wardrobes full to bursting and it’s true for me. Why don’t men get it?

we never cease to amaze ourselves … the words we long to hear are spoken … and we float in to a dream … and then suddenly the world outside of ourselves bursts the starry bubble.
