Even those worn-out words, “I love you”, take on a wonderful new meaningWhen I use them to express my love for you, they’re words for you onlyIn a sunny spot on Sunday, it’s an ordinary Sunday like any otherI quietly pray that this lasts forever…and you keep chattingWhat do you like so much about me? That’s a hard question you’ve just askedSo for now I’ll stop watching the movie we’ve rented and just gaze at youI love your fully blooming smile, even seeing it every day isn’t enoughAnd that’s without even mentioning that amazing body that looks good no matter what you wearAnd that’s just your looks, what about the important things inside you?You don’t back down when you’re pissed off and even snorting really annoys youBut there’s so, so, so much more than thatI can’t really describe it properlyI don’t think you need a reason to fall in loveThat part’s a mystery to me, so please forgive meEven those worn-out words, “I love you”, take on a wonderful new meaningWhen I use them to express my love for you, they’re words for you onlyIn a sunny spot on Sunday, it’s an ordinary Sunday like any otherThe more of this ordinary time that passes, the more comfortable we feel togetherYou pretend to be strong, so the fleeting tears you show occasionally are a white flagIf nothing is said, then all the more, I just can't look awaySadness and painOf course life brings all kinds of things like thatBut when you casually say, “Do your best”, it gives me strengthWhenever your little back trembles I hold you right awayEven if the scenery we can see from the window changesStay with me as you are, bad sleeping habits and allEven those worn-out words, “I hate you”, it comes across as the oppositeIf it’s you saying them when you’re sulking, they’re words for me onlyIn a sunny spot on Sunday, it’s an ordinary Sunday like any otherI’ll say it one more time: I love you, all the timeIt’s a Sunday like any otherIt’s an ordinary SundayBut it’s a special Sunday
