I Could Say

I could say that you're a red, red rose,
by the garden green.
More delicate and more beautiful,
Than anyone's ever seen.

I could say that you're a butterfly
That flutters through the breeze.
With your truly beautiful wings you fly
Around the meadow with ease.

I could say that you're a diamond
Amidst the coal below.
The most precious thing in the world
As we have come to know.

I could say that you're a twinkling star
Up on the heavens above.
As it sparkles you would know
Why it is you that I love.

I could say all these things to you,
But there's one thing you should see.
That you're just as special as anyone else,
If your are compared to these

But you're more than that, you mean
More than anything else in the world to me.
You're more dazzling and more graceful
And you fill my heart with glee.

When I touch your rosy cheeks I feel
I've felt a thousand roses.
And as your diamond eyes sparkle
Through the night as it entices.

So if you ever happen to ask
Why I've never compared anything to you.
It's because anything less than divine
Would never describe the true you.
