Haven't read it in your eyes
Haven't heard it in your sighs
Couldn't tell you why it's so
Nevertheless, I only know....

Something tells me I'm falling in love
Something tells me you're sent from above
Not the stars or the man in the moon
Though I'm certain they set the stage and opened the curtain

Something tells me my waiting is through
I hope something is telling you too
Something whispers that we'll never part
And something tells me it's my heart

Must have been so all the time
Must have known that you'd be mine
You were bound to come to me
How I behaved was plain to see

Something tells me I'm falling in love
Something tells me you're sent from above
Not the stars or the man in the moon
Though I'm certain they set the stage and opened the curtain

Something tells me my waiting is through
I hope something is telling you too
Something whispers that we'll never part
And something tells me it's my heart
