AMANDA
by Boston
Words & Music by Tom Scholz
Verse
Babe, tomorrow's so far away. There's somethin' I just have to say. I don't think I could hide What I'm feelin' inside - another day Knowin' I love you.
Verse
And I, I'm gettin' too close again. I don't wanna see it end. If I could tell you tonight, Will you turn out the light - and walk away Knowin' I love you?
Chorus
I'm gonna take you by surprise And make you realize, Amanda. I'm gonna tell you right away; I can't wait another day, Amanda. I'm gonna say it like a man And make you understand, Amanda. (second time: Oh, girl.) I love you. (not sung second time)
Verse
And, I feel like today's the day I'm lookin' for the words to say. Do you wanna be free? Are you ready for me - to feel this way? I don't wanna lose ya.
Verse
So, it may be too soon, I know. The feelin' takes so long to grow. If I tell you today Will you turn me away - and let me go? I don't wanna lose you.
INSTRUMENTAL: C/D G/D D Bm
Bridge
You and I, I know that we can't wait. And I swear, I swear it's not a lie, girl. Tomorrow may be too late. You, you and I, girl, We can share a life together. It's now or never, And tomorrow may be too late. Oh. Ooo Oh Ooo Oh.
FINAL VERSE: And, feelin' the way I do, I don't wanna wait my whole life through To say - I'm in love with you.
