Last night after dinner
As I read the evening paper
I looked up to see a look
Of sadness in her eyes.

I asked her what was wrong
She sighed and said its nothing
But something in that nothing
Made me realize.

Chorus:
It wouldn't kill me
To show her that I love her
It wouldn't kill me
To make her feel alive
I could take more time to tell her
It wouldn't kill me
Like it would if she ever said good-bye.

I don't know what gets in me
Not to take these precious moments
And share them with the only love
That makes them worth while
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.

Chorus:
It wouldn't kill me
To show her that I love her
It wouldn't kill me
To make her feel alive
I could take more time to tell her
It wouldn't kill me
Like it would if she ever said good-bye...
