I can't begin to tell you

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
