You could tell what a person feels
If you could stare at them all day
You could tell what a person wants
If you listen to the words they say

You could tell what a person dreams
If you could chase away their fears
You could tell what makes them cry
If you care to wipe their tears

You could tell how much one truly cares
If you could hold them through the night
You could tell just what the future holds
Just by the way you hold them tight

You could tell cupid shot an arrow
And you?re glad he didn?t miss
You could tell what love is all about
And you can feel it in their kiss

You could tell what makes a person mad
Because the tone changed in their voice
You could tell what made them want to leave
'Cause you gave them no other choice

You could tell this was all a game
When you just sit there by the phone
You could tell that it?s all over now
Because they left you all alone

You could tell she meant a lot to me
In many ways I tried to show
You could tell it crushed me deep inside
When I never got to let her know

There are many things you could tell
And many things you cannot see
But you?re not around to try to know
What your heart really meant to me
