I catch your glance across the room
And see those unveiled eyes
Reveal the words once disguised
By that perfectly crooked smile
No need to speak your heart to me
I feel it pulse while in your arms
And taste wanton words on your lips
Each time I yield to your charms
I hear them in your measured voice
And those dancing, soulful eyes
Telegraph how deep the well
That fuels your smoldering desire
They light this fire inside of me
Cast shine beneath my smile
Like raw current jolts me back to life
Yes, they make me come alive
When your voice drifts across the room
I hear your inaudible words
The ones you dare not whisper dear
Shout "I love you" to me out loud
