I can’t find the words to tell you the way
That I feel whenever you’re near.
I try so hard to find the words but
Whenever I do, then you disappear.
I’m wanting so much to tell you
That I’m in love with everything that you do,
But all my words seem inadequate
Whenever I get ready to speak to you.
Perhaps someday I won’t be feeling
So insecure, then I’ll let you know
How much I long to hold you in my arms,
But ’til then, I’ll just watch you go.
I keep hoping there’ll come a day
When I can get up the courage to say
I really need you to be with me.
Maybe then I can convince you to stay.
I want so much to take you into my arms
So that I can hold you real tight.
Yet I’m afraid that you will just pull away
And say that I’m not your type.
I guess maybe it’s time I decide
To take my chances with you, and besides,
Even if you should tell me no.
At least I can tell myself I tried.
