How Do I Love You?

How do I love you?
Let me count the ways.
I love you on your very best...
and very worst of days.

I love to see you laughing
And dancing in the rain.
And even when you lose your shoes,
I love you just the same.

I love to hear you singing.
I love to see you smile.
I love the way you take each day
in your own unhurried style.

I'm happy when you're happy,
And I'm sorry when you're sad.
And even though it may not show,
I love you when you're bad.

How do I love you?
Well, now, let me see...
I love the way you act so brave
When you fall and hurt your knee.

I love to watch you sleeping,
Tucked away in pleasant dreams.
I love to hear you whisper
All your giant plans and schemes.

I love the way you wear your pants
With the front part in the back,
And the way you walk around sometimes
With your head inside a sack.

I love to see you deep in thought.
I love to watch you play.
And though I'm sure
you'll never know,
I love you more each day.

How do I love you?
It's impossible to say.
For if I had a million days
And time enough for all the praise,
I couldn't tell you all the ways...

I love you!
