It Wouldn't Kill Me

(album: Paradise - 1996)

Last night after dinner as I turned on the TV
I looked up to see a look of sadness in her eyes
I asked her what was wrong, she sighed and said, "It's nothin'"
But something in that nothing made me realize

It wouldn't kill me to tell her that I love her
It wouldn't kill me to make her feel alive
If I could take more time to show her
How she makes my life so right, it wouldn't kill me
Like it would if she ever said goodbye

I don't know what gets in me not to take these precious moments
And share them with the only one that makes it all worthwhile
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 tell her that I love her
It wouldn't kill me to make her feel alive
If I could take more time to show her
How she makes my life so right, it wouldn't kill me
Like it would if she ever said goodbye

If I could take more time to show her
How she makes my life so right, it wouldn't kill me
Like it would if she ever said goodbye
