Verse 1
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She’s lost in peaceful dreams
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
Chorus
‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there’s no second chance to tell her how I feel
Verse 2
There’s a saying that goes
“A picture’s worth a thousand words”
But when I look at her
It’s not hard to see
The love and the happiness
She brings to me
She takes my fears away
And gives me strength for all my days
And she helps me see the light
Chorus
‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there’s no second chance to tell her how I feel
Bridge
So tell that someone that you love
Just what you’re thinking of
If tomorrow never comes
Chorus
‘Cause I’ve lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there’s no second chance to tell her how I feel
Conclusion
