(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Fathers seldom say "I love you"

Though the feeling's always there,

But somehow those three little words

Are the hardest ones to share.

And fathers say "I love you"

In ways that words can't match--

With tender bed time stories

Or a friendly game of catch!

You can see the words "I love you"

In a father's boyish（孩子气的） eyes

When he runs home, all excited,

With a poorly wrapped surprise.

A father says "I love you"

With his strong helping¹ hands

With a smile when you're in trouble

With the way he understands.

He says "I love you" haltingly（犹豫地）.

With awkward² tenderness--

It's hard to help a four-year-old into a party dress!

He speaks his love unselfishly

By giving all he can

To make some secret dream come true.

Or follow through a plan.

A father's seldom-spoken love

Sounds clearly through the years--

Sometimes in peals³ of laughter,

Sometimes through happy tears.

Perhaps they have to speak their love

In a fashion all their own.

Because the love that fathers feel

Is too big for words alone!
