Lyrics

You Were In Love

(Kathy Kallick & John Reischman, Southern Melody Publishing Co./BMI)

I took a minute to think of you before I sailed upon a silent sea
I took the time to review the careful kinds of things you always said to me
You never said you were in love
You only told me just enough
You never said you were in love
You only said that it was circumstance
You didn’t think it wise to take that kind of chance
We didn’t have to fly, we only wanted one slow dance
Let’s dance

It doesn’t always take a fool to ask a simple question give an answer yes or no
A fool ain’t gonna see the writing on the wall, hit you on the head, you know-it-all
You never said you were in love
You talked about a lot of stuff
You never said you were in love
Did you think you were the only one to ever think of that
The man with all the facts
Was it a cautious act or was it ceremonial chat
Chit-chat

If we had never had a single kiss, we wouldn’t find ourselves in a fix like this
But when you think of all the empty faces in a single day, too bad you didn’t say
You were in love, you never said
You only acted so stuck up
I should have known
You were in love
It took the distance of a thousand nights
And all the time of space
To finally see the brightest light

Heart on my sleeve, out on a limb
I’m lost at sea, no help in sight
I should have known
You were in love

[Darlin’, you send me ... ]
