Transcript

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you.
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel.
More than words is all you have to do to make it real.
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Coz I'd already know.

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real.
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying "I love you".

More than words

Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me.
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real.
What would you say if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying "I love you".
