If There's No Other Way...

... Then take this as my chance to speak my heart.

If there was no other way to tell you

than my words here on this paper,

then I would settle for that.

I would tell you that you have

beautiful green eyes that soften when they

look at me.

I would tell you that you have

a handsome smiled that brightens my day

whenever it falls upon me.

I would tell you that you have

the most gentle touch that caresses me

and sends shivers up my spine.

I would tell you that you have

a voice that soothes all the troubles of my soul

and lifts me higher and higher.

I would tell you that I want you and would give up

anything to hold you in my arms on this

cold night.

I could make everything make sense

if you would just let me tell you

that I love you...
