Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- It’s almost beyond believing
That this is really true
I never dreamed of achieving
This happiness with you
And it’s because it’s all too sweet
Too wonderful to be
That I implore you to repeat
What you just said to me
Chorus
You said it, but say it again
Let me hear you say it
Like you said it just then
You’ve told me, but tell me again
Tell me that you’ll love me
Like you told me just then
It was like a song in my dreams
To hear you whisper
“I love you! I love you!”
You thrilled me, but thrill me again
With the thrill you gave me
When you said it just then
- There’s nothing that I would rather
Keep whisp’ring in your ear
Tho from what you said I gather
You somewhat doubt it, dear
And while we’re on the subject
Of affection, I’ll admit
Some reassurance of your love
I wouldn’t mind a bit
