"She Does Everything for Me"

I listened to the I Love You album to-day, and I remembered something I noticed in "She Does Everything for Me" a couple months ago (more like half a year; it was in August) that I neglected to write about.

The first line is "There is nothing to say; it's all been said," and that "said" has a melisma.  It's sung to the notes E F# E D.  Because it's sung to more than one note, there's almost a musical representation of "all" having "been said."  It's as if each note to which "said" is sung represents a past conversation.
