[Words by Mack Gordon]
[Music by James V Monaco]

I can't begin to tell you
How much you mean to me
My world would end
If ever we were through

I can't begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind
Like others do

I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart
But when you're near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart

So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I've said them all to you

I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart
But when you're near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart

So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I've said them all to you
