Lyrics
WHY CAN'T YOU SAY I LOVE YOU
JIM PURTELL
60 Stoney Beach Road, Oshkosh, WI 54902-7241 - 920-203-0018 - joeypurtell@yahoo.com
We crave time together
Our unplanned escapes
A romantic evening
A phone call away
You've shown me you're tender
While trying to be cool
But I'm wondering
Why can't you say I love you
You're not one to rush
We have all night
Tempt me and tease me
Take your sweet time
I ask if you want me
You tell me you do
So I'm wondering
Why can't you say I love you
Tell me your fear
Is this about her
The one who walked out before
Her love wasn't real
Can't you feel
What we have is so much more
You own my heart
You know this by now
The only thing left
Just say it out loud
I promise I won't run
I'll always be true
Stop my wondering
Why can't you say I love you
Why won't you say I love you
Why can't you say I love you
