 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Maybe I hang around here
A little more than I should
We both know I got somewhere else to go

But I've got something to tell you
That I never thought I would
But I believe you really ought to know

I love you, I honestly love you

You don't have to answer
I see it in your eyes
Maybe it was better left unsaid

But this is pure and simple
And you must realize
That it's comin' from my heart
And not my head

I love you, I honestly love you

I'm not trying to make
You feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all

But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say

I love you, I honestly love you

If we both were born
In another place in time
This moment might be ending in a kiss

But there you are with yours
And here I am with mine
So I guess we'll just be leaving it at this

I love you, I honestly love you
I honestly love you
I honestly love you
