Here in the moonlight I found my sunlight
Shining within your eyes.
Now if you see me confused and dreamy
Blame it on this surprise.

You took the words right out of my heart
And it was like a bolt from the blue
You took the words right out of my heart
When you said “I love you”

When you said “I love You”
I stood in a daze awhile
For I felt that way too
From the moment I saw you smile.

I had the words and you in my heart
There wasn’t room enough for the two
You took the words right out of my heart
And there’s only room for you.
