Then you couldn't make things new just by sayin' "I love you" la di da da da di da da di da..etc... verse 2 Now that I have tried to talk to you and make you understand all you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands and touch me, hold me close don't ever let me go more than words is all i ever needed you to show then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'cause I'd already know. nice, long and lengthy, eh? hope you guys have fun with this. -ben byau@jarthur.claremont.edu -brought to you with the help of sheet music that I used to learn the song.. I think most of it is right since I pretty much memorized the whole thing while learning it. good luck
