Maybe tonight I'm gonna tell him how I feel 
Maybe I'll leave well enough alone 
Maybe, just maybe, he'll want to be my baby 
What if he's got plans of his own 

I'm waiting for the perfect moment 
Looking for the perfect phrase 
The one I finally choose is simply 
"I Love You" 
As the words came out I heard a voice 
inside me say 

(Chorus:)
What made you say that
Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight
in your eyes
What made you say that
Have you been listening to your heart
It's too late now, you don't want to
(I won't let you) take it back
'Cause I know love's what made you say that 

I look up to see his reaction
And a smile slowly spread across his face
He said, "What took you so long
That's what I've been waiting on 
I thought you'd take forever and a day" 

(Repeat Chorus Twice) 

Was it the moonlight, was it the starlight
in your eyes
What made you say that
Have you been listening to your heart
What made you say that...
