You never know when someone you love
Might go down, never come back up
So take that chance, say what you can
Life never goes as we plan

And on one day you won't have to say
Why didn't I say

"Hey, I think you're special"
And I've been meaning to tell you that
Hey, I think you're special
And they can't take that away
'Cause I think you're special
And we'll all be gone someday
But I think you're special
And they can't take that away
Can't take that away

You might wake up or you might not
And be left with the love trapped inside
That you only ever thought
But you couldn't ever say it
It was much too hard
Too real for one little heart

And not one day, you won't have to say
Why didn't I say

"Hey, you're something special"
And I've been meaning to tell you that
Hey, I think you're special
And they can't take that away
'Cause I think you're special
And we'll all be gone someday
But I think you're special
And they can't take that away, oh
Can't take that away, ooh
Oh

I think you're special
Yeah, I think you're special
Yeah, I think you're special
And we'll all be gone someday
But I think you're special
And they can't take that away
Oh, I think you're special
And they can't take that away
Oh, they can't take that away
Can't take that away
