Answer
Dear Lee,

YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME is by the Seattle group GABRIEL. Fronted by lead vocalist/songwriter/guitarist FRANK BUTORACI, they never made it big in the US, collecting only one Hot 100 hit, MARTHA from their fourth album GABRIEL, released in 1978. MARTHA peaked at a lowly #73 back in October, 1978. Other members include keyboard player STACY CHRISTENSON, drummer MICHAEL KINDERS, guitarist TERRY LAUBER and bass player GARY RUHLS. FRANK went on to front the group FRANKIE BLEU. YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME was from the 1975 album THIS STAR ON EVERY HEEL.

Here's how it goes:

YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU LOVE ME / GABRIEL

I sit alone in my empty room
Waiting for a sign
Is this the way you show you’re mine?

So many crazy thoughts are in my head
But I know they’re untrue
Am I in love or just a fool for you?

Chorus:
You never told me you love me
I know you’re not to blame
It’s just the way you play your game
You never told me you love me
But I’ll get by somehow
You never told me you love me
So why should you care now?

Night after night I’d sit and wait for you
But you rarely show
I get the feeling it’s time to go.

Are you sincere or just passing time
With someone who loves you
I’m tired of guessing at what to do.
(Repeat Chorus)


Maraming salamat po!
