I Can't Begin to Tell You
Unspoken Love: Expressing Emotions Beyond Words
Lyrics
I can't begin to tell you
Expressing difficulty in starting to convey feelings.
How much you mean to me.
Emphasizing the significant importance of the person addressed.
My world would end
Suggesting that life would lose meaning without the addressed person.
If ever we were through.
Highlighting the emotional impact of a potential separation.
I can't begin to tell you
Reiterating the challenge of expressing happiness adequately.
How happy I would be
Describing the depth of joy that could be experienced.
If I could speak my mind
Expressing a desire to communicate freely and openly.
Like others do.
Feeling constrained in self-expression compared to others.
I make such pretty speeches
Admitting to creating eloquent speeches when separated.
Whenever we're apart.
Highlighting a contrast in communication during absence.
But when you're near
Acknowledging difficulty in choosing words when the person is present.
The words I choose
Describing a struggle to verbalize emotions when near the addressed person.
Refuse to leave my heart.
Indicating that heartfelt words are retained internally.
So take the sweetest phrases
Suggesting a desire to express affection using the best phrases available.
The world has ever known
Encouraging the use of sweet and affectionate language.
And make believe
Proposing a scenario of imagining the expression of deep emotions.
I've said them all to you.
Encouraging the person addressed to believe in the sincerity of the words.
I make such pretty speeches
Repeating the theme of eloquent speeches during separation.
Whenever we're apart.
Recalling the challenge of expressing emotions when apart.
But when you're near
Reiterating the difficulty in finding words when in close proximity.
The words I choose
Emphasizing the internal struggle to articulate feelings in person.
Refuse to leave my heart.
Repeating the theme of emotions being deeply felt but unspoken.
So take the sweetest phrases
Reiterating the idea of using the sweetest phrases available.
The world has ever known.
Encouraging belief in the sincerity of affectionate expressions.
And make believe
Asking the person addressed to imagine receiving all the sweet phrases.
I've said them all to you.
Encouraging belief in the sincerity of all the imagined expressions.
