[Celine]

I'm scared

So afraid

to show I care

Will he think me weak

If I tremble when I speak

Oooh

What if

There's another one he's thinking of

Maybe he's in love

I'd feel like a fool

Life can be so cruel

I don't know what to do

[Barbra]

I've been there

With my heart out in my hand

But what you must understand

You can't let the chance

To love him pass you by

[Barbra & Celine]

Tell him

Tell him that the sun and moon

Rise in his eyes

Reach out to him

And whisper

Tender words so soft and sweet

[Celine]

I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat

[Barbra]

Love will be the gift you give yourself

Touch him

[Celine]

Oooh

[Barbra]

With the gentleness you feel inside

[Celine]

I feel it

[Barbra]

Your love can't be denied

The truth will set you free

You'll have what's meant to be

[Barbra & Celine]

All in time you'll see

Oooh

[Celine]

I love him

[Barbra]

Then show him

[Celine]

Of that much I can be sure

[Barbra]

Hold him close to you

[Celine]

I don't think I could endure

If I let him walk away

When I have so much to say

[Barbra & Celine]

Tell him

Tell him that the sun and moon

Rise in his eyes

Reach out to him

And whisper

Tender words so soft and sweet

[Barbra]

Hold him close to feel his heart beat

[Celine]

Love will be the gift you give yourself

Love is light that surely glows

In the hearts of those who know

It's a steady flame that grows

[Barbra]

Feed the fire with all the passion you can show

[Celine]

Tonight love will assume its place

[Barbra]

This memory time cannot erase

[Barbra & Celine]

Your faith will lead love where it has to go

Tell him

Tell him that the sun and moon

Rise in his eyes

Reach out to him

And whisper

Whisper words so soft and sweet

[Barbra]

Hold him close to feel his heart beat

[Celine]

Love will be the gift you give yourself

Oooh

[Barbra & Celine]

Never let him go.
