It's getting close
To the time when your
Heart's about to show
Don't hold back
It's OK
To express yourself
No matter what it takes
There's something you wanna say
This feeling won't go away
She's all in your dreams
Come on, just let it go
Don't make it emotional
You gotta believe
You need to know how I feel
'Cause baby I'm falling in love
It's something I can't deny
You need to know it's for real
'Cause baby you are the one
You are my paradise
Now's your chance
Take her hand

You should be her man
All she needs
