You Made Me Love You (It Has To Be Said) by Gloria Buono-Daly © 2025

*(Verse 1)*
You made me love you,

Now what do I do?
Not the mirror, not the frame,
My heart will never be the same.

*(Pre-Chorus 1)*
Now I see… beyond my eyes,
Love’s not seen—it’s truth realized.
I’m sorry if I messed with your head
You made me love you—it has to be said…has to be said...

*(Chorus 1)*
Now I know… what it feels like,
To have a soul so bright,
Not for beauty, not for show,
But for the soul we’ve come to know.

Don’t say you never knew,
You made me, me love you—it has to be said...

*(Verse 2)*
I wonder if you’ll remember my name,
You made me love you just the same.
A fleeting moment, yet so real,
A touch of fate I still can feel.

*(Pre-Chorus 2)*
I’ve walked the line between dark and light,

Love’s a lesson, love’s the fight…

I’m sorry if I messed with your head

You made me love you—it has to be said...has to be said...

*(Chorus 2)*
Now I know what it feels like,
To have a soul so bright,
Not for beauty, not for show,
But for the soul we’ve come to know.

Don’t say you never knew,
You made me, me love you—it has to be said...has to be said...

*(Bridge)*
Don’t say you never knew
The love you gave, beyond the stage

The power of love, so unplanned,
Much more than a heart could demand.

Never thought a heart like mine,
Could beat like this beyond the line.
I want you to see, to understand

I'm me, I'm still the same.

Don’t say you never knew,
You made me love you—it has to be said...has to be said...

*(Outro)*
Thank You for making me love you,
I’ve changed somehow, because of you.
Don’t say you never knew,
You made me love you—.
You may never know... but I know—it had to be said.
