I'd Like to Say I Love You

Romantic evening, quiet drive home Slip off your coat, unhook the phone A tender kiss, a coffee, a brandy for me Story book evening comes to an end Your smile it fades, feelings they tend To run wild in the night Oh I'd like to say I love ya But it would only be a lie But I'd rather say I love ya Than to see you cry, cry, cry Over me, over me Head on the pillow, doubt in your eyes Romantic looks, thinly disguise That lack of emotion, that spark that lies dead in my heart No promise, no debt, when nothing is left I can't give you the ultimate gift Don't ask me again, don't look in that way, it's not there Oh I'd like to say I love ya But it would only be a lie But I'd rather say I love ya Than to see you cry, cry, cry Over me, over me You turn your head away, whisper goodnight my love Tears upon your pillow, they won't buy love, buy love... Oh I'd like to say I love ya But it would only be a lie But I'd rather say I love ya Than to see you cry, cry, cry Oh I'd like to say I love ya But it would only be a lie But I'd rather say I love ya Than to see you cry, cry, cry Over me, over me
