Here I am, standing close to you
and yet still so far away
so many times I tried to say
but my heart was so afraid

Look at you is all that I can do
like a silly girl I stare
cause you might leave me when I reveal
what my heart is really feeling

If I could just say the words
all the secrets in my heart and in my soul you'll hear
will you take me in your arms or let me go
our lovely days, will they just fade like whispers in the wind

If I could just say the words,
all the secrets in my heart and in my soul you'll hear
can't you see the love I hide slip through my eyes
this silly girl so scared, she just can't say 'I love you'
