Don't Tell Me

Don’t tell me that I’m beautiful, not yet.

I may show you that I am, but I would like to take my time…

Don't call me baby, not yet.
I want to look into your eyes and see it there first...

Don’t tell me that you know me, not yet.

Not unless you have walked with me awhile…

Don’t tell me that you understand, not yet.

Not until you have sat with me a night and watched my dreams erupt…

Don’t tell me that you want me, not yet.

Not before our hearts have met…

Don’t tell me I’m the One, not yet

For I don’t believe there is an Only…

Tell me that you love me,

And with all my heart I’ll love you back…

But don’t tell me that I’m beautiful. 

Until you really know.
