Let me hear you say it
Say it with a kiss
If you mean that look I’ve seen
Say it with a kiss
There is wine and candle shine
And music in your lips
Music in the tops
Of your fingertips

Words may not convey it
Say it with a kiss
And your look might speak a book
That my eyes might miss
You don’t have to know the words
To love’s familiar tune
Say it with a kiss
And say it soon

Say it isn’t so
Say it isn’t so
Everyone is saying you don’t love me
Say it isn’t so

Everywhere I go
Everyone I know
Whispers that you’re growing tired of me
Say it isn’t so

People say that you
Found somebody new
And it won’t be long before you leave me
Say it isn’t true

Say that everything is still okay
That’s all I want to know
And what they’re saying
Say it isn’t so

(double tempo)

Say it isn’t so
Say it isn’t so
Everyone is saying you don’t love me
Say it isn’t so

Everywhere I go
Everyone I know
Whispers that you’re growing tired of me
Say it isn’t so

People say that you
Found somebody new
And it won’t be long before you leave me
Say it isn’t true

(single tempo)

Say that everything is still okay
That’s all I want to know
And what they’re saying
Say it isn’t so

That’s all I want to know
And what they’re saying
Please say it isn’t so
