Analysis of To say
To say
To you
That that I dare not
That worth cannot compare to you
And that the air does not bless you enough
That I care for you more than my words can describe
That you excite my thoughts into active prayer
That I hope that you'll always be there
That you guide and lighten my hearts every beat
That you whisper yeah I love you without mistake
That to kiss me in the seconds we meet
Finds me always waiting at your gate
To forget me not whatever it takes...
