I've Told Every Little Star
Linda Scott Lyrics

Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
An upbeat rhythm to start the song.

Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Continuing the rhythm from the first line.

Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
The rhythm persists as the singer sings about something that's been on their mind.

Why haven't I told you?
Asking themselves why they haven't shared their feelings with someone they care about.

Oh, baby, I've told every little star
The singer has shared their feelings with the little stars, perhaps seeing them as confidants.

Just how sweet I think you are
What the singer has shared with the little stars, their opinion of the person they care about.

Why haven't I told you?
Reiterating that they still haven't shared these feelings with the person themselves.

Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
The rhythm continues.

I've told ripples in a brook
The singer has shared their feelings with the ripples in a brook, another way to express how strong their emotions are.

Made my heart an open book
By expressing their feelings through the ripples in a brook or singing to the stars, the singer has made it clear that their heart is open and vulnerable.

Why haven't I told you?
Despite sharing with inanimate objects, the singer still hasn't told the person how they feel.

Friends ask me, am I in love
Others around the singer have noticed their feelings and are asking if they're in love or not.

I always answer 'yes'
The singer doesn't deny their feelings when asked by their friends.

Might as well confess
Since the singer can't hide their feelings, they might as well share them with the person they care about.

If the answer's yes
Another way of saying the previous line, confirming that the singer does have feelings for the person they care about.

Maybe you may love me, too
An optimistic statement, suggesting that the person they care about might feel the same way.

Oh, my darling, if you do
If the person they care about does feel the same way, they will have confirmed their love for each other.

Why haven't you told me?
Reversing the sentiment expressed earlier, the singer wishes that the person they care about had also shared their feelings.

Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
The song ends with a final repetition of the rhythmic intro.

Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
The last bit of the song keeps the same rhythm as the previous line.

Dum-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
The song finishes with a final upbeat note.
