Jerry Herman — Ive Never Said I Love You

[NINA] I've walked in the dawn on somebody's arm And looked at the lights along the shore But I've never said "I love you" So when I say "I love you" He'll know I've never loved before I've touched in the dark and laughed in the rain And listened to all the old cliches But I've never said "I love you" I'm saving my "I love you" For someone worthy of the phrase For somebody wise and strong and tall And yet he may not be that at all I only know we'll turn and we'll look We'll nod and we'll know We'll stare and we'll smile And then and then I'll gratefully say, "I love you" And when I say, "I love you" He'll know I've never loved before He'll know I'll never love again I'll gratefully say, "I love you" And when I say, "I love you" He'll know I've never loved before He'll know I'll never love again
