i, get a little tongue twisted 
every time i talk to you 
when i see you 
and i'm so glad that you just missed it 
the way i stared to memorize your face 
to kiss you in my mind 
love you all the time 
'cause when i close my eyes 
i still can see your smile 
it's bright enough to light my life 
out of my darkest hour 
please believe it's true 
when i tell you i love you 

i've taken too many chances 
searching for the truth in love 
that's in my heart 
tell me if i made the wrong advances 
tell me if i've made you feel ashamed 
'cause i know i have to do this 
would you hold my hand right through it 
'cause when i close my eyes 
i still can see your smile 
it's bright enough to light my life 
out of my darkest hour 
please belive it's true 
when i tell you i love you

i had to let you know 
just what would happen 
yes, i had to let you know the truth 
i know i've got to do this 
would you hold my hand right through it 
would you 
'cause when i close my eyes 
i still can see your smile 
it's bright enough to light my life 
out of my
darkest hour 
please believe it's true 
when i tell you i love you 
i know now this is true 
when i tell you i love you
