HOW MANY TIMES

(to my loving husband, Jon )
Words and Music: Meredith Arneson

How many times have I told you I love you
One hundred thousand times ten
How many times have you said you love me, too
One hundred thousand times ten
How many times have we whispered sweet words
As we walked down the road hand-in-hand

One hundred thousand times, one hundred thousand times
One hundred thousand times ten


How many times have I kissed you goodnight, dear
And prayed to the Lord you'd be blessed
 And how many times were you showered with flowers
To honor my faithful princess
And how many times was I held in your arms
Ecstatically lost in your scent


One hundred thousand times, one hundred thousand times
One hundred thousand times ten:


God is so good, we are blessed and secure
Ready to turn the next bend
Our love continues to be worth a million
One hundred thousand times ten

I add 'em up, and count all the sweet times
That thrill me with sudden recall
I put 'em together, they're our wedded lifetime
For which we've given our all:

God is so good, we are blessed and secure
Ready to turn the next bend
Our love continues to be worth a million

One hundred thousand times ten

We both agree, given the chance
We would do it all over again
We hit the jackpot, rich with contentment

One hundred thousand times, a hundred thousand times
One hundred thousand times ten

One hundred thousand times,
A hundred thousand times
One hundred thousand times ten,
