I wish that you were in my arms tonight

And I could tell you the secret

I've been keeping inside

I know my words could steal your heart

If I could say them right

I can't pretend I'm not afraid

As I'm picturing us face to face

You can wish on a star

Close your eyes

And wherever you are

I'll be there for you

Until it comes true

But if your dreams fall a part

I'll still be the light in your darkest hour

I'd find a way

If I could say the words

I've been holding back so long

Rehearsing the lines

I played out this scene a dozen times

Now my heart is in your hands

Can't you understand

That I know exactly what to say

When it's you and I face to face

And how many nights

Can I dream that I've said

All these words

Then to wake to find

It was all in my head

That I know exactly what to say

When it's you and I face to face

Say the words
