When we parted just like friends
We never tied loose ends
I could never say the words
That would make amends

Oh, how I wanted to, oh, how I wanted to
To say I loved you, to say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

From my blue room did you creep
A love too rare to keep
Well, I heard your step
And I turned my head to weep

Oh, how I wanted to, oh, how I wanted to
Say I loved you, say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

Oh, how I wanted to, oh, how I wanted to
Say I loved you, to say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

Now hearts do what hearts will
And my nights are sleepless still
Well, I never was the one to speak my fill

Oh, how I wanted to, oh, how I wanted to
To say I loved you, ah, to say I loved you
Oh, how I wanted to

Oh, how I wanted to, oh, how I wanted to
Say I loved you, just say I loved you, oh
Oh, how I wanted to
