I've been watching you a while 

Since you walked into my life 

Monday morning, when first I heard you speak to me 

I was too shy to let you know 

Much too scared to let my feelings show 

but you shielded me and that was the beginning 



Now at last we can talk in another way 

And though I try, "I love you" is just so hard to say 

If I only could be strong, and say the words I feel 



My beating heart begins to race 

When I turn to see your face 

I remember that sweet dream which you told to me. 

I wanted just to be with you 

So we could make the dream come true 

And you smiled at me and that was the beginning 



And now at last we can talk in another way 

And though I try, "I love you" is just so hard to say 

If I only could be strong, and say the words I feel 



Tell me what you're thinking of 

Tell me if you love me now 

I had so much I longed to ask you 

But now the chance has gone 

While your picture fades each day 

In my heart the memory stays 

Glowing bright, you're always smiling 

And I will hold you close
