I shouldn’t say I love you
I can’t help it when I do
If I don’t say I love you
Would that make it at all untrue?
I shouldn’t say I love you
As much as I always do
I can’t ignore or try to deny
This burning feeling for you
I shouldn’t think about you
As much as I always do
Of your bright golden hair
And crystal eyes so blue
I shouldn’t think about you
It’s not good for me they say
Of your laugh and your smile
And your easy going way
When the shadows grow long
And the night draws in
My mind starts to think
‘Bout what could have been
Try as I may
Try as I might
I just can’t avoid
Thoughts of you tonight
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
E’en through the searing pain
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
Yet here I go again
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
It’s never going to end
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
I shouldn’t
These thoughts to you I send
Help me to understand
The wheres, the whats, the whys
Help me to understand
The rules ‘neath Fallen Skies
Help me to understand
What makes what’s right so wrong
Help me to understand
What makes the days so long
Help me to understand
What makes the wrong so right
And help me to understand
How to survive the night
There’s just so much to think about
There’s just so much to love
And I’ll never hold and touch you again
‘Til we’re both in Heaven above
