I'm scared So afraid to show I care Will he think me weak If I tremble when I speak Ooh, what if There's another one he's thinking of Maybe he's in love I'd feel like a fool Life can be so cruel I don't know what to do I've been there With my heart out in my hand But what you must understand You can't let the chance To love him pass you by Tell him Tell him that the sun and moon Rise in his eyes Reach out to him And whisper Tender words so soft and sweet Hold him close to feel his heart beat Love will be the gift you give yourself Touch him (ooh) With the gentleness you feel inside (I feel it) Your love can't be denied The truth will set you free You'll have what's meant to be All in time you'll see Oh, I love him (then show him) Of that much I can be sure (hold him close to you) I don't think I could endure If I let him walk away When I have so much to say Tell him Tell him that the sun and moon Rise in his eyes Reach out to him And whisper Tender words so soft and sweet Hold him close to feel his heart beat Love will be the gift you give yourself Love is light that surely glows In the hearts of those who know It's a steady flame that grows Feed the fire with all the passion you can show Tonight love will assume its place This memory time cannot erase Your faith will lead love where it has to go Tell him Tell him that the sun and moon Rise in his eyes Reach out to him And whisper Whisper words so soft and sweet Hold him close to feel his heart beat Love will be the gift you give yourself, ooh Never let him go
