All These Words

By Jason Zapata

Another would-be suitor is quick to depart
Due to false stewardship of your heart
I hate seeing this kingdom in neglect
When it deserves only honor and respect
Don’t be accustomed to frauds and liars
Please still recognize genuine desires
Here I’ll stand repeating them forevermore
If only to convince you they were true
All these words I would say to you
Similar things were said by others before
I’m going to prove my words are true
All these words I would say to you

I’ll stand before you, our eyes will meet
And I’ll tell you how I feel without deceit
Please do not doubt this dedication
Or view it as a false proclamation
This oath will not be an empty promise
No vow of devotion to fall into remiss
Here I’ll stand repeating them forevermore
If only to convince you they were true
All these words I would say to you
Similar things were said by others before
I’m going to prove my words are true
All these words I would say to you
