When You Tell Me, ÒI Love YouÓ             words and music by Hank Easton

Verse 1:

Some people say love has a way, it conquers all, topples walls

You know I think itÕs true, Ôcause when you tell me ÒI love youÓ

It doesnÕt matter what we do

Wind whispers through the pines and it sweeps across my face,

It tickles my brow Ð the scent I canÕt describe

It has no name Ð just perfect in every way Ð

Chorus 1:

Just like your eyes ÐJust like your mind - God made it so

Just like your hug Ð itÕs like a drug - I canÕt say no

Um um youÕre good  - you know you should Ð stay here tonight Ð

ÔCause when you tell me ÒI love youÓ, I love you too

Verse 2:

We could be walking in the rain, in the sleet, in the snow

But if youÕre with me it doesnÕt matter where we go Ð just let that winter wind blow

The water drips across my face, down my back, between my toes

And every place it goes it heals my woes

Chorus 2:

Just like life it flows - into the past Ð nothing lasts Ð God made it so Ð

It goes so fast  - weÕll make it last - this much I know Ð

Um um youÕre good you know you should - stay here tonight Ð

ÔCause when you tell me ÒI love youÓ, I love you too.

Bridge:

You donÕt know it but IÕm watchinÕ you

Hope you can feel that my love is true

Just take my hand and IÕll show you how it feels

Two hearts entwined Ð thatÕs yours and mine

ÔCause when you tell me ÒI love youÓ, I love you too               

Verse 3/Chorus 3:

The sun shines on our love today Ð just like I prayed Ð it lights our way

And you can see it brings a smile upon my face

Like the warmth of your embrace it fills my soul

Won't grow old Ð this much I know

Day fades to night  - suns out of sight  - but still shines bright

Um Um youÕre good you know you should stay here tonight

ÔCause when you tell me,  ÒI love youÓ, I love you too
