I'll Have To Say I Love
Jim Croce & Don McLean Lyrics
Well, I know it's kind of late
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I've got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
Every time I'm near you
I just run out of things to say
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
'Cause every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" (I love you) in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late (it's kind of late)
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
(I know you'd understand)
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
I hope I didn't wake you
But what I've got to say can't wait
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of strange
Every time I'm near you
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song
'Cause every time the time was right
All the words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" (I love you) in a song
Yeah, I know it's kind of late (it's kind of late)
I hope I didn't wake you
But there's something that I just got to say
(I know you'd understand)
I know you'd understand
'Cause every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong
So I'll have to say "I love you" in a song

We lost Jim Croce 49 years ago today. This is my favorite of all his songs. Nobody writes songs like this today, sweet and simple, and right to the heart. And that's a shame.

I’m here on a recommendation, asked a music group in Reddit to post any song from any genre, in any language. I have a rather eclectic taste in music for my general listening repertoire, and will also often at least attempt to pick out elements that I like/appreciate from music that I may not entirely take a liking to, or maybe just doesn’t resonate enough to have me listening to often . But I just wanted to chime in and say that I’ve heard a lot of music from the recent few decades that are absolutely sweet, simple and right to the heart. You may have to just keep an open mind/ear and give some of the thousands of wonderful artists/musicians out there a shot 🤙🏽
@jlbaker2000
His songs are so relatable too.

Love JC but what you said is not true. Just to name a few: John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Passenger still write sweet and simple songs in almost every album.
@michaelhanxiao4249
Check out John Mayers' You're gonna live forever in me, Badge and Gun, Wheels; Jack Johnson's almost every song; Passenger's When we were young, Holes, Anywhere. Think you'll love them. Peace

I was 8 years old when this song came out. I remember sitting on my father's lap and singing this with him. My father would look at me at the part where he says "I have to say I love you in a song", and he would kiss my cheek. I lost my father 2 years ago and I miss him everyday. How I wish it was the early 1970s so we could do it all over again.
