When you're quiet, but your eyes Are saying everything I need to know I want to burrow like a sparrow Dodging alley cats and whiskers Why do we talk in whispers? Is it painful hearing voices ring So early in the morning? I've been waiting for the day When I can throw away these numbers That line my dresser drawers and cupboards Start me over Life seems so much slower With your toothbrush by the mirror Can I make it any clearer? And I just might say it tonight I just might say it tonight I just might tell you tonight That I love you And you should stay all my life They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it If you just cut your clothes and change your hair But I won't fuss and moan 'bout what you wear I feel so much better When I read your dirty letters Just wear your sweaters in the winter 'Cause I wonuldn't want you to get cold I hope that we're togethre when we're old I would have sold all my possessions Never took piano lessons But baby you're a grand And I will learn to play the good notes And tune you up the best I can And I just might say it tonight I just might say it tonight I just might tell you tonight That I love you And you should stay all my life
