넌 늘 내게 말했지 왜 사랑한다 말하지 않냐고
날 사랑하긴 하냐고

근데 난 말야 좀 더 달콤하게 절대 잊을 수 없게
영화 속에 연인들처럼 고백하려고

기다렸어 흰눈을 나 이제
말할게 널 위해 아껴두웠던 그 말

사랑해 햇살보다 눈부신 너의 미소를
날 안아주던 너의 두 손을 사랑해 사랑해

약속해 나 절대 널 떠나지 않을게
이렇게 늘 니 옆에 서서 나 말할게

뭘 그리 망설이냐고 그게 그리 어렵냐고
내 맘을 듣고 싶다고

근데 난 말야 좀 더 특별하게 스쳐 지나가지 않게
그 어느 날보다 아름답게 기억되도록

기다렸어 흰눈을 나 이제
말할게 널 위해 아껴두웠던 그 말

사랑해 햇살보다 눈부신 너의 미소를
날 안아주던 너의 두 손을 사랑해 사랑해

약속해 나 절대 널 떠나지 않을게
이렇게 늘 니 옆에서서 나 말할게

한 순간도 너와 떨어지고 싶지 않아
네게 안겨 시간이 멈추기를 바래

나 이렇게 널 사랑해

사랑해 (사랑해) 햇살보다 눈부신 (눈부신) 너의 미소를 (미소)
날 안아주던 너의 두 손을 사랑해 사랑해 (내 두 손을) (사랑해 oh my love)
약속해 나 절대 널 떠나지 않을게 (I never, I never)
이렇게 늘 니 옆에 서서 나 말할게

널 사랑해 널 사랑해

사랑해 사랑해
널 사랑해 yeah
