I've waited
For sixteen years I've waited
This night--tonight
Tonight is something special

I look in your eyes
And all the world seems right
You hold me near
And I know it's alright

You whisper softly
As the music plays
And I wish I could stay
In this moment forever

I want to say "I love you"
But I don't have the nerve
I dance nervously in your arms
Unable to speak or utter a word

You lean closer
And I close my eyes
But the kiss never comes
"I love you"

Three simple words
Then not a word was spoken
I opened my eyes
And looked into yours

I swear if I ever could
At that moment I'd fly

My heart was beating
As fast as it could
I took a deap breath
Then finally could say

"I love you too."
