Last night after dinner   As I read the evening paper   I looked up to see a look   Of sadness in her eyes      I asked her what was wrong   She sighed and said,"It's nothing"   But something in that nothing   Made me realize      It wouldn't kill me   To show her that I love her   It wouldn't kill me   To make her feel alive      I could take more time to tell her   How she makes my life so right   It wouldn't kill me   Like it would if she ever said, "Good-bye"      I don't know what gets in me   Not to take these precious moments   And share them with the only love   That makes it all worth while      I get so caught up in other things   When the only thing that matters   Is the way she leaves me breathless   With the beauty of her smile      It wouldn't kill me   To show her that I love her   It wouldn't kill me   To make her feel alive      I could take more time to tell her   How she makes my life so right   It wouldn't kill me   Like it would if she ever said, "Good-bye"      I could take more time to tell her   How she makes my life so right   It wouldn't kill me   Like it would if she ever said, "Good-bye"
