Have I Told You Yet?

Have I told you yet that I love you

And that in that love I have died

That my heart could not take the pain

No matter how hard it tried



Have I told you yet that I need you

And in needing you I am lost

I cannot breath, I cannot cry

I never counted the cost



Have I told you yet that I miss you

And this missing you I cannot stand

Without your being in my world

My life tastes dull and bland



Have I told you yet that I hate you

For you have made me your clown

You stole my heart and ripped it apart

And my world came crashing down



Have I told you yet that I miss you

As I look up in the sky

I see lightning flashing through the night

That reminds me of your eyes



Have I told you yet that I need you

Through all the lies and the tears

Every time that I see your smile

You chase away my fears



Have I told you yet that I love you

No matter what I do

I tried to teach my heart to hate

But I just cannot hate you
