The Best Advice

The best advice I ever gave you, dear,
Was to hold on to the one that keeps you happy...
To hold her to you as if she's made of gold,
And kiss her often just to let her know
She's wonderful... for putting up with you.
I told you, love, to keep her all too close,
And look into her eyes as if she's all you know...
To keep her smiling, dear, until her cheeks are sore,
And all those laughing lines, she should be grateful for!

I feel I should remind you of my expertise,
I can see lasting love, like she feels for you...
If she accepts you, dear, for all you are, and more...
If she smiles with you regardless of her mood,
If she cares for you when you are hurt or sick,
If she loves you, dear, and proves it often....
You should hold her to you as if she's made of diamonds,
And let her light your world until your days are over.
