A popular song from 1932.
Words by Sam M. Lewis.
Music by Milton Ager.
Laurence Rubenstein (Milton’s nephew) says: “Nice job on this romantic song. There was only one prior recording of it — a 1932 78rpm by Jack Denny’s Orchestra (vocal chorus Rod May). You do it better (except for the orchestral accompaniment!). Many thanks.”

Lyrics
- You only give me a minute
To tell the love in my heart
I don’t know how to begin it
I don’t know where to start
Chorus
There’s a million ways to say “I love you”
And I love you one million ways
I want a million days to say “I love you”
Let me love you one million days
I’ll need a million songs, a million flowers
And countless hours to sing your praise
There’s a million ways to say “I love you”
And I love you one million ways
2. A poet only needs pages
Some tell their love in a line
But I’ll need ages and ages
To tell this love of mine
