"Said I Loved You...But I Lied" is the title of a song by the American pop music singer Michael Bolton. The song was co-written and co-produced by Bolton and Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Released as the first single from his multi-platinum 1993 album The One Thing, the song reached the Top 40 in November 1993 and eventually became Bolton's seventh and most recent Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart when it peaked at number six in early 1994. The song also spent twelve weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, the singer's eighth chart-topper on this tally. The single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and earned Bolton a Grammy nomination in the category Best Male Pop Vocal performance at the 37th Grammy Awards.
You are the candle, love's the flame A fire that burns through wind and rain Shine your light on this heart of mine Till the end of time You came to me like the dawn through the night Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life You are the one, you are the one
Chorus Said I loved you but I lied 'Cause this is more than love I feel inside Said I loved you but I was wrong 'Cause love could never ever feel so strong Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain How can mere words my heart explain This taste of heaven so deep so true I've found in you So many reasons in so many ways My life has just begun Need you forever, I need you to stay You are the one, you are the one
