Lyrics
I never have a dream
That I don’t see you in it
You never leave my thoughts
No, not even for a minute
And if you should ask me how deeply I adore you
I would simply reply
Refrain
I can’t begin to tell you
How much you mean to me
My world would end if ever we were through
I can’t begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind like others do
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we’re apart
But, when you’re near
The words I choose refuse to leave my heart
So, take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe I’ve said them all to you
