I Wanted to Tell You



Every time I see you
My heart becomes a puddle
And I know I'll have to make due
With my thoughts all in a muddle

I walk up and see you
I know what I want to say
"I wanted to tell you..."
And then my thoughts, they fade away

I stand there staring at your face
I know I have to break through
Then my heart begins to race
I know I have to tell you

You look at me and smile
And then my thoughts, the renew
Then my mouth starts to beguile
"I wanted to tell you..."

I LOVE YOU
