Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not for me to say
You love me
It's not for me to say
You'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment
I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
[Verse 2]
As far as I can see
This is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
[Verse 3]
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
Written by: Al Stillman, Robert Allen
