I wish that you were in my arms tonight   And I could tell you the secret   I've been keeping inside   I know my words could steal your heart   If I could say them right   I can't pretend I'm not afraid   As I'm picturing us face to face      Chorus   You can wish on a star   Close your eyes   And wherever you are   I'll be there for you   Until it comes true   But if your dreams fall a part   I'll still be the light in your darkest hour   I'd find a way   If I could say the words      I've been holding back so long   Rehearsing the lines   I played out this scene a dozen times   Now my heart is in your hands   Can't you understand   That I know exactly what to say   When it's you and I face to face      Chorus   And how many nights   Can I dream that I've said   All these words   Then to wake to find    It was all in my head   That I know exactly what to say   When it's you and I face to face      Chorus   Say the words
