When you're quiet, but your eyes   Are saying everything I need to know   I want to burrow like a sparrow   Dodging alley cats and whiskers   Why do we talk in whispers?   Is it painful hearing voices ring   So early in the morning?      I've been waiting for the day   When I can throw away these numbers   That line my dresser drawers and cupboards   Start me over   Life seems so much slower   With your toothbrush by the mirror   Can I make it any clearer?      And I just might say it tonight   I just might say it tonight   I just might tell you tonight   That I love you   And you should stay all my life      They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it   If you just cut your clothes and change your hair   But I won't fuss and moan   'bout what you wear   I feel so much better   When I read your dirty letters   Just wear your sweaters in the winter   'Cause I wonuldn't want you to get cold   I hope that we're together when we're old   I would have sold all my possessions   Never took piano lessons   But baby you're a grand   And I will learn to play the good notes   And tune you up the best I can      And I just might say it tonight   I just might say it tonight   I just might tell you tonight   That I love you   And you should stay all my life
