TODAY IS THE DAY

The first time I saw you, I remember when your eyes meet mine
I can still feel the warmth flow through my body, you know, like the first time.

In all my years, I've never met anyone that's had that effect on me
What is it about you? I have to wonder, do you feel anything when you see me?

In my mind I've told you a thousand times, how much "I Love You" and how you make me feel inside.
You say "Yes I know", then you smile and pull me close, You hold me tight...

I think I should tell you my secret, I shouldn't let true love pass me by.
Today is the day, I'll tell you the minute your eyes meet mine.

The warmth that lay hidden so deeply, for so long,
you revive with such ease.
One simple look my way. I get weak in the knees!

So..You got married...I had no idea...Congratulations my friend...
I guess I waited too long to tell you what was really on my mind...

You didn't make me cry, these are tears of joy for you and your new wife.
 I'm so happy for you...you know, it was just such a long drive, I'm a little tired.

Guess I should've known-I mean really, why would you bother with me?
You didn't feel the same, I can't believe it wasn't meant to be
Today is the day-- I have to face reality...

Don't get me wrong- I know I've been blessed!
To have had the chance to know you, that alone is more than I could ever have guessed.

We will always be friends and I will always feel the same,
I'll just love you from a distance so I won't be in the way.

Thank God-I couldn't go through with it, the time I tried to tell!
It's better you don't know how I really feel...

It's time to say good-bye again. Friends forever we will be.
My secret still safe within my heart with each and every cherished memory you have given me.

They say good things come to those who wait
I'll wait forever to say to you...Today is just not the day....
