Brent Spiner (sings):
Be sure it's true
When you say: "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
just because these words were spoken
I love you, yes I do. I love you
If you break my heart i'll die

Be sure that it's true
When you say: "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie


Patrick Stewart (says):
Be sure that it's true
When you say: "I love you, darling"
Bacause, because you know
that it's a terrible sin to tell a lie
So many, oh so many hearts have been broken
And all because, because these words were spoken

Brent Spiner (sings):
I love you, yes I do. I love you
If you break my heart i'll die





Be sure that it's true
It's a sin to tell a lie

I'm saddened that I'm the only one to comment thus far, but honored to be the first. Anyone who appreciates Brent Spiner's genius and equally values the songs of a distant era, will find themselves here eventually. Sing on, Sunspots!

@ColonelStraker

Nice. Patrick Stewart discusses this song and actually chooses it as his final track on BBC's The Desert Island Discs series where Patrick Stewart was interviewed many years ago. A fantastic show overall; especially, this particular interview. Check it out!!

@ameliatbh001

The fact that Brent Spiner called in these guys to take part in this goes to show you how wonderfully they got along both on-camera and off. This is so cool to me.

@dkuntz

Sir Pat and Brent are real life best friends. Brent was the best man at Sir Pat's wedding (Sir Ian officiated, if I recall.)

@EllieBee_.

@@dkuntz Nope it was LeVar Burton's wedding,Brent and LeVar were really close bestfriends so LeVar asked Brent if he can be his best man🥺

@michelleregis6181

ditto!

@citizenwayne4550

@@EllieBee_. Actually you're right and wrong. Brent WAS LeVar's best man. He was ALSO Patrick Stewart's best man. Speaks to the kind of guy Brent is.
