Just Say I Love Her
Dean Martin · Dino! Italian Love Songs/Cha-Cha de Amor [EMI - (U [1999]
I've loved her from the start
And tell her how I'm yearning
To say what's in my heart
Just say I need her
As roses need the rain
And tell her that without her
My dreams are all in vain
If you should chance to meet her
Anytime anywhere
I was a fool to leave her
Tell her how much a fool can care
And if she tells you
She's lonely now and then
Won't you just say I love her
And want her back again
Won't you just say I love her
And want her back again
