Update to earlier recording. Special thanks to Andrew Bashaw for the "smile when singing" suggestion and Barbara Cloyd (from Nashville) for a loving critique and pacing suggestions.

I Don't Know How To Say I Love You
©℗2013 Nathan Dickson. All rights reserved worldwide.
I don't know how to say I love you
I fidget with my napkin and my cup and spoon
I'm afraid you won't love back
Or that you will leave too soon
I don't know how to say I love you
I try to speak but my words are caught up inside
I'm afraid my fate is silence
So I stare off to the side
Words fail to express the way I feel
Maybe that's just a dodge to
Maintain my ideal
I don't know how to say I love you
If I can get you laughing at my jokes you'll stay
I'm afraid to be too real
So I find another way
I don't know how to say I love you
I think if we share glances a few times tonight
Maybe then I'll get my nerve
And the moment will be right
Some guys seem to have all the right words
They don't have awkward pauses like nerds
I don't know how to say I love you
The look you gave me tells me that you feel it too
Maybe now yes now I'll tell you
That my love for you is true
Okay I just say it come what may
I love you please don't turn away
Why don't you stay with me and
We'll hold hands today
Okay I just say it come what may
I love you please don't go away
Why don't you say you're free and
We'll hold hands today

I agree these changes are really nice and this song is really growing on me. It has a great feel to it. It really reminds me of some of the early Beatles stuff.
