So much I say in daydreams
Avow my heart's desire
But when we're brought together
Conversation dies with me
And now I stammer
Between the nervous heartbeats
Descending you and I
In fearful silence
Maybe I said the wrong things
My pass was out of line
Maybe you said the wrong things
In making your reply
Perhaps I say the wrong things
While I'm burning up inside
Maybe you say the wrong things
But I want you to know
That's words could only fail to show the depth of my esteem
That I hold you in such regard as silences my speech
And when you shine your lights on me I vanish in the heat
So vital are your thoughts of me I dare not tilt the peace
Yet I return to mend my slight, to prove to you what I mean
I come sheltering the hope that you might place your heart with me
And now that I'm alone with you your smile lets me believe
Those dreams that sail on the horizon
And now I stammer
Between the nervous heartbeats
Descending you and I
In fearful silence
So much I say in daydreams
Avow my heart's desire
But then we're thrown together
Conversation dies with me
So now I stammer
Between the lonely heartbeats
Exposing one more time
The fearful heart of me
Maybe I said the wrong things
My pass was out of line
Maybe you said the wrong things
In making your reply
Perhaps I say the wrong things
While I'm burning up inside
Maybe you say the wrong things
But I want you to know
That words have only failed to show the depth of my esteem
That I hold you in such regard as silences my speech
But now that I'm alone with you your smile lets me believe
My dream that sails on the horizon
