lyrics

In the city moonlight I race with you down the crowded streets
I can feel the people there as they turn to stop and stare
Envious of us and our ascending love they curse silently –
But not a single thing can tear away this moment that we share (but)

If I said “I love you”
Would these words terrify you –
And would it strip all mystery?

In the city moonlight I race with you down the crowded streets
To a place that death can’t touch… to forever feel this rush
For in this star-lit hour I am chasing you and all of my dreams –
You are proving this to me: that our Love is the key (so)

If I said “I love you”
Would these words wound or haunt you –
Pulling you away from me?

If I said “I love you”
Would these words fill with sorrow –
By setting stage for you to leave?

Behind your eyes there is something rare – do not others see it?
I’m falling in love with you – can’t you feel this shimmer too?

Will these words convey their meaning?
Or would you write them off as fleeting?
Don’t my eyes reveal the truth–
“For what is love if not with you?”

If I said “I love you”
Would you believe that I do
And could it be you love me too?

If I said “I
Dedicate my
Life
To you”
Would you love me too?
