Lea Salonga - Afraid for Love to Fade lyrics

(jose mari chan)

My head's in a jam

Can't take you off my mind

From the time we met

I've been beset by thoughts of you

And the more that I ignore this feeling

The more I find myself believing

That I just have to see you again

I can't let you pass me by

I just can't let you go

But I know that I am much too shy

To let you know

Afraid that I might say the wrong words

And displease you

Afraid for love to fade

Before it can come true

Like a child again

I'm at a loss for words

How does one define

A crush combined with longing?

Longing to possess you oh so dearly

I'm obsessed by you completely

I'll go mad if I can't have you

I can't let you pass me by

I just can't let you go

But I know that I am much too shy

To let you know

Afraid that I might say the wrong words

And displease you

Afraid for love to fade

Before it can come true

(instrumental)

I can't let you pass me by

I just can't let you go

Let me say the things and say the words

To let you know

I would rather say the awkward words

Than lose you

Or for love to fade

Before it can come true
