Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak?
Ooh, what if
There's another one he's thinking of?
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
[Verse 2]
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
[Chorus]
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
[Verse 3]
Touch him
With the gentleness you feel inside
I feel it
Your love can't be denied
The truth will set you free
You'll have what's meant to be
All in time, you'll see
[Verse 4]
Ooh, I love him
Then show him
Of that much I can be sure
Hold him close to you
I don't think I could endure
If I let him walk away
When I have so much to say
[Chorus]
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
[Bridge]
Love is light that surely glows
In the hearts of those who know
It's a steady flame that grows, oh, oh, oh
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show
Tonight, love will assume its place
This memory time cannot erase
Your faith will lead love where it has to go
[Chorus]
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Whisper words so soft and sweet
Hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself
[Outro]
Never let him go
