Just Say I Love Her (Dicitencello Vuie)
Dean Martin · Dino! Italian Love Songs (Bonus Tracks) [EMI] [2005]
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...
