I've been watching you awhile

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

It's 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



(repeat)



Tell me what you're thinking of

Tell me if you love me not

I have so much I long to ask you

But now the chance has gone

When your picture fades each day

In my heart the memory stays

Though we rant, you're always smiling

And I will hold it long
