I never really told you how much you mean to me
The words get locked away and I can't set them free
Never really showed you what's going on inside
The joy of being near you I always seem to hide

I wish I could throw the fear away
So I could come right out and say
Baby, I'm dying for you

You are my love - you are my life
When I am lost you are the light
You are the sweetest thing
And I'm never gonna let you go
You are the sweetest thing
If only I could tell you so

I watched you when you werе sleeping like a little girl
I'd like to wakе you up and say: "I want you in my world"
Sometimes when I kiss you and look into your eyes
I have to turn away from you so you won't see me cry

I wish I could throw away the fear
I wish I could come right out and say
Baby, I'm dying for you

You are my love - you are my life
When I am lost you are the light
You are the sweetest thing
And I'm never gonna let you go
You are my love - you are my life
When I am lost you are the light
You are the sweetest thing
And I'm never gonna let you go
You are the sweetest thing
If only I could tell you so
