Maybe tonight I'm gonna tell him how I feel Maybe I'll leave well enough alone Maybe, just maybe, he'll want to be my baby What if he's got plans of his own I'm waiting for the perfect moment Looking for the perfect phrase The one I finally choose is simply "I love you" As the words came out I heard a voice inside me say What made you say that Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes What made you say that Have you been listening to your heart It's too late now, you don't want to (I won't let you) take it back Cause I know love's What made you say that Look up to see his reaction And a smile slowly spread across his face He said "What took you so long That's what I've been waiting on I thought you'd take forever and a day" What made you say that Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes What made you say that Have you been listening to your heart It's too late now, you don't want to (I won't let you) take it back Cause I know love's What made you say that What made you say that Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes What made you say that Have you been listening to your heart It's too late now, you don't want to (I won't let you) take it back Cause I know love's What made you say that Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight in your eyes What made you say that Have you been listening to your heart What made you say that
