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
