No Other Way

Florence E. Stiff

Let me caress your hand my dear
And tell you how I feel,
For what is deep within my heart
I cannot long conceal.

I love you, not with just a love
But with a tender yearning,
That lingers always in my heart
With warmth that's ever burning.

With desire to make each wish
You every wish come true,
Oh yes my dear, that is the way
I have of loving you.

By actions not by words alone
I'll show how much I care,
With little things I'll prove to you
That I am always there.

As a baby clings to mothers love
I cling to you my dear,
Nothing else is half so sweet
As when I have you near.

That's how I feel, oh love of mine
What else is there to say,
Except I'll keep on loving you
For there is no other way.
