Afraid for love to fade lyrics

Artist  : Lea salonga 
Song : Afraid for love to fade
 

(Jose Mari Chan)
My head`s in a jam
Can`t take you off my mind
From the time we met
I`ve been beset by thoughts of you
And the more that I ignore this feeling
The more I find myself believing
That I just have to see you again

I can`t let you pass me by
I just can`t let you go
But I know that I am much too shy
To let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words 
And displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true

Like a child again
I`m at a loss for words
How does one define
A crush combined with longing?
Longing to possess you oh so dearly
I`m obsessed by you completely
I`ll go mad if I can`t have you

I can`t let you pass me by
I just can`t let you go
But I know that I am much too shy
To let you know
Afraid that I might say the wrong words 
And displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true

(Instrumental)

I can`t let you pass me by
I just can`t let you go
Let me say the things and say the words
To let you know
I would rather say the awkward words
Than lose you
Or for love to fade
Before it can come true
