t’s been a long time coming I never thought that it would I know I’ve not been forthcoming More reticent than I should be But you know I’m trying to change And I think it’s gonna work out fine If you just say that you’ll be mine

It’s been a heavy burden
Carrying this doubt around There’ve been too many times uncertain
And I was worried what this love is all about
But I’m learning how to trust once again And I think it’s finally clear
If you just say you’ll stay near

I’ve been holding back my feelings
Afraid of what they might mean
But there’s something so appealing
In the way you make me dream
I’m ready now to take the leap
For my heart to speak its mind
If you will just say that you’ll be mine If you’ll just say that you’ll be mine
