Artist/Band: Brenda Lee
Lyrics for Song: I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)
Lyrics for Album: Let Me Sing/By Request [Ace] [2006]



(Don Dougherty - Ellis Reynolds - Al J. Neiburg)



I'm confessing that I love you

Tell me do you love me too

Yes, I'm confessing that I need you

Honest I do.



In your eyes I read such strange things

But your lips they deny they're true

Will your answer really change things

Making me blue.



I'm afraid someday, I'm afraid you'll leave me

Saying can't we still be friends

If you go, you know, you know you'll grieve me

All my life, on you on you depends.



So am I guessing that you love me

Dreaming dreams of you in vain

Yes, I'm confessing that I love you

Over again.



--- Instrumental ---



Now am I guessing, am I guessing

That you love me

Dreaming dreams of you in vain

I'm confessing that I love you

Over again...


I'm Confessin' (That I Love You) - Brenda Lee

Brenda Lee's 1956 recording of 'I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)' stands as a definitive example of the doo-wop and pop standards revival that dominated the mid-1950s. Originally a hit for The Four Lads, Lee's version transformed the song into a signature track, showcasing her distinctive vocal style characterized by a bright, clear tone and a signature falsetto that blended pop sensibilities with gospel and R&B influences. Released on her debut album, the recording became a staple of her discography and remains a widely covered standard in the American songbook. The track exemplifies the era's shift toward polished studio production while retaining the emotional directness of traditional vocal jazz and swing. Its enduring popularity highlights Lee's ability to reinterpret existing material, cementing her status as a pivotal figure in the transition from teen idol to respected recording artist.
