I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song

Written by Jim Croce

Performed by Jim Croce

Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I gotta say can't wait
I know you'd understand

'Cause ev'ry time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
But ev'ry time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand

'Cause ev'ry time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

'Cause ev'ry time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song

Yeah, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just gotta say
I know you'd understand

'Cause ev'ry time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say I love you in a song
