Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

  1. It’s almost beyond believing
    That this is really true
    I never dreamed of achieving
    This happiness with you
    And it’s because it’s all too sweet
    Too wonderful to be
    That I implore you to repeat
    What you just said to me

Chorus
You said it, but say it again
Let me hear you say it
Like you said it just then
You’ve told me, but tell me again
Tell me that you’ll love me
Like you told me just then
It was like a song in my dreams
To hear you whisper
“I love you! I love you!”
You thrilled me, but thrill me again
With the thrill you gave me
When you said it just then

  1. There’s nothing that I would rather
    Keep whisp’ring in your ear
    Tho from what you said I gather
    You somewhat doubt it, dear
    And while we’re on the subject
    Of affection, I’ll admit
    Some reassurance of your love
    I wouldn’t mind a bit
