How Can I Tell You.

Baby, you're something, you touch my heart,
You break me with laughter and you tear me apart,
And baby, that's something no one else can do,
Yeah, you've got that something I just can't lose,
Could I live without you or you without me,
That's something I don't know and I don't wanna see,
'Cos I love you so much, but at times it won't show,
So how can I tell you to be sure that you know,

I can tell you you're cute with the wink of an eye,
I can tell you I want you and I don't have to try,
These things I can tell you and you know that they're true,
But how can I tell you that I love you,

If I owned a galaxy, I'd give you the stars,
If love could be captured, I'd give you my heart,
And these are just dreams I wish to be true,
But they're still lovely tho'ts, so I give them to you,
You see, there's things that I want and things that I'll get,
And things that I'm not thru' fighting for yet,
And I know that I love you, but at times it won't show,
So how can I tell you to be sure that you know,

I can tell you you're cute with the wink of an eye,
I can tell you I want you and I don't have to try,
These things I can tell you and you know that they're true,
But how can I tell you that I love you,

Yeah, I can tell you you're beautiful without speaking a word,
I can tell you you're wonderful without being heard,
And I don't have a way with words, but baby you do,
So how can I tell you that I love you,

And the only way I tho't of that just might do,
Is to simply tell you... I love you.
