It's hard to say just how I feel
As I see you each day.
Excitement fills my beating heart
While hearing words you say.

I marvel at these lips of mine
They tremble helplessly.
To think that they would come near yours
And kiss you tenderly.

Oh, how my passion stirs within
Each time you come to mind,
Or how my tender heart reacts
When notes from you I find.

And then I let my thoughts go free
With fantasies of you.
Those thoughts of walking hand-in-hand
And all the things we'd do.

No sweeter thoughts are in my mind
No thoughts can near compare,
Then loving you with all my heart
These thoughts with you I share.

So treat me tenderly my sweet
My heart is on my sleeve,
And as I say my love is true
I hope you do believe.
