Amália Rodrigues — I Can't Begin to Tell You

I Can't Begin to Tell You

I can't begin to tell you
How much you mean to me.
My world would end
If ever we were through.
 
I can't begin to tell you
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind
Like others do.
 
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart.
But when you're near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart.
 
So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I've said them all to you.
 
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart.
But when you're near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart.
 
So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known.
And make believe
I've said them all to you.
