Swam out of dream early one mornin'
In a boat on an ocean, just you & me
Felt your breath on my cheek, our bodies were swayin'
Like a wave it hit me what you were saying to me I got the message soft & clear
It was the first time you said it and all I could hear..

Hold that thought, save that emotion. Put it in your pocket, close to your heart
Hold that thought, read back that sentence
When you say "i love you" - that's my favorite part

Took a train to the city in a grey winter rain
I'm miles from home now, and youre so far away
I can smell the coffee, I can hear children playing
In a crowd in the station somebody's callin' your name
There's a note in the door of my hotel room
A three word message, and it's signed by you

Hold that thought, save that emotion
Put it in your pocket, playback that sentence
When you say "i love you" - that's my favorite part

I wanna memorize this feeling, this tender moment in time
Capture forever the feeling when your lips meet mine
Stop right there

Hold that thought, save that emotion. Put it in your pocket, close to your heart
Hold that thought - read back that sentence
When you say "I love you" - that's my favorite part
