It has to be freezing to snow It has to be burning to glow It has to be willing and ready to know It has to be able to grow Don't say I love you too soon Late nights holding hands And staring at the moon On romantic nights Your feelings can lie Don't say I love you too soon You have to be listening to learn You have to be desperate to yearn You must be involved to be concerned You have to be wise to discern Don't say I love you too soon Late nights holding hands And staring at the moon On romantic nights Your feelings can lie Don't say I love you too 'Cause it's a phrase That brands the heart with fire and iron And it's the phrase That sent a man to die for you and me On romantic nights Your feelings can lie So don't say I love you Don't say I love you too Don't say I love you too soon Don't say I love you too soon
