AMANDA
(Tom Scholz)
Boston - 1986


Babe, tomorrow's so far away.
There's somethin' I just have to say.
I don't think I could hide
What I'm feelin' inside
Another day.
Knowin' I love you.

And I -- I'm getting' too close again.
I don't wanna see it end.
If I tell you tonight
Will you turn out the light.
And walk away
Knowin' I love you?

CHORUS:
I'm gonna take you by surprise
And make you realize.
Amanda
I'm gonna tell you right away
I can't wait another day.
Amanda
I'm gonna say it like a man
And make you understand.
Amanda
I love you.

And, I feel like today's the day.
I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free,
Are you ready for me
To feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya.

So it may be too soon I know.
The feelin' takes so long to grow.
If I tell you today
Will you turn me away
And let me go?
I don't wanna lose you.

CHORUS

You and I -- I know that we can't wait.
And I swear -- I swear it's not a lie girl,
Tomorrow may be too late.
You -- you and I girl -- we can share a life together.
It's now or never
And tomorrow may be too late.

And, feelin' the way I do,
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
To say I'm in love with you.
