Last night after dinner

As I read the evening paper 

I looked up to see a look

Of sadness in her eyes



I asked her what was wrong 

She sighed and said its nothing

But something in that nothing

Made me realize



Chorus:

It wouldn't kill me

To show her that I love her 

 It wouldn't kill me

To make her feel alive

I could take more time to tell her

It wouldn't kill me

Like it would if she ever said good-bye



I don't know what gets in me

Not to take these precious moments

And share them with the only love 

That makes them worth while    

I get so caught up in other things

When the only thing that matters

Is the way she leaves me breathless

With the beauty of her smile



Chorus:

It wouldn't kill me

To show her that I love her 

It wouldn't kill me

To make her feel alive

I could take more time to tell her

It wouldn't kill me

Like it would if she ever said good-bye
