Lyrics
- How I long to tell you that I love you
Love finds a way so poets say
Ev’ry dream I dream is only of you
Come cuddle near and listen, dear
Chorus
I’m confessin’ that I love you
Tell me do you love me too
I’m confessin’ that I need you
Honest I do need you ev’ry moment
In your eyes I read such strange things
But your lips deny they’re true
Will your answer really change things making me blue
I’m afraid some day you’ll leave me
Saying, “Can’t we still be friends”
If you go you know you’ll grieve me
All in life on you depends
Am I guessin’ that you love me
Dreaming dreams of you in vain
I’m confessin’ that I love you over again
- Ev’ry lover longs to hear this story
“I love you dear”, my love’s sincere
Tell me what the future will hold for me
When will I hear you answer dear
