Take these words they come out wrong They won't express this old emotional thing If you could see inside my mind You'd know the love and feel this pa**ionate thing You stepped into my locked out world I felt your touch on my shoulder You turned my mind right over Like a child before it learns to speak I turn to stone, I turn to stone Heaven give me words to tell you How I am feeling What I am needing Heaven let this message reach you This desperation Will stop my heart from beating I won't be giving in I'll die if I don't tell you just how I feel I'll make you truly understand What kind of man could live with feelings Of steel I used to be so self contained When I thought about love A conversation heart to heart I must confess this old emotional thing Before you think that I'm a fool There's a flame that burns here Here's a feeling that's so rare It's my nightmare when I go to speak I turn to stone, I turn to stone Heaven give me words to tell you How I am feeling What I am needing Heaven let this message reach you This desperation Will stop my heart from beating Heaven give me words Heaven give pride Heaven let this message reach you You've seen a heart worn on my sleeve I must express this old emotional thing Please be a witness to my dreams Or I'll wake up and say now Can this be real? Before you think that I'm a fool There's a flame that burns here Here's a feeling that's so rare It's my nightmare when I go to speak I turn to stone, I turn to stone Heaven give me words to tell you How I am feeling What I am needing Heaven let this message reach you This desperation Will stop my heart from beating Heaven give me words to tell you How I am feeling What I am needing Heaven let this message reach you This desperation Will stop my heart from beating Heaven give me words Heaven give pride Heaven let this message reach you
