Been watchin’ you for a while
Now across the room you smile
My buddies are laughin’, but I think I have a chance

Sara is your name
From a foreign land you came
But no one remembers—was it Ecuador or France?

Sara, if you listen close
I’ll make you see
You belong with me
My voice is soft, but my heart cries out to be heard
Please don’t turn away
All I want you to do is stay
And you’ll see that love is louder than words?

Your smile says you’re amused
And maybe a bit confused
’cause the English language don’t mean a thing to you

You don’t understand a word I say
But I know the perfect way
For this love-struck American boy to get his message through

Sara, if you listen close
I’ll make you see
You belong with me
My voice is soft, but my heart cries out to be heard
Why are you running away?
All I want you to do is stay
Don’t you see that love is louder than words?
