If you listened to the Hugh Hewitt Radio Show today, you know I didn’t present the Greenland poem. Rather, I read this love lyric for The Tantalizing Tarzana Johanna who has a significant birthday next week. (Boy, did I surprise her!) Now, if there’s some enterprising composer who would like to put this to music, contact me and I think we have a hit.
To Johanna
You’ve taught me everything I know
About the things that make Love grow
And every day your words reveal
The precious things that lovers feel
We’ve had so much time together
You would think I’d know the way
To tell you what your friendship means to me
And to find the words to say
But although I live in language
When you appear, my tongue is tied
I need another chance to show you
After all the words I’ve tried
So, teach me how to say I love you
So you hear it a new way
Teach me how to say I love you
Though you hear it every day
Help me understand the feeling
Help me share the feeling too
Teach me how to say I love you
For without a doubt, I do
I do
I do
