It is the fourth track on Clay Aiken’s CD, “Measure Of A Man”.
…It is a light hearted song that was popular on Clay’s tours.
It is…
When You Say You Love Me –
I’ve been watching you from afar
And the way you make your way around the bar
You laugh like you’re really entertained
And you smile like it’s your favorite game
Now you’re moving closer to me
And our eyes connect emotionally
I’m not looking for a one-night stand
Or a place for a broken heart to mend
I know ev’rybody here wants to hold you
I know what it’s like ’cause I feel the same
When you look in my eyes
There’s a part of me that’s still afraid
(Chorus:)
And when you say you love me, do you mean it?
Baby, when you hold me, do you feel it?
Should I believe the magic in your eyes?
I would wait until the end of time
To hear you say you love me like you mean it
Baby, when you hold me, make me feel it
All I want to do is make you mine
I’ve been hurt way too many times
In 2002, Darren Hayes and Rick Nowels collaborated to write a Pop song called When You Say You Love Me.

Rick Nowels has been writing songs since he was 13 years old. Rick has written and/or produced hits for Dido, Fleetwood Mac, N’SYNC, Jewel, KD Lang and many others.
It’s an uncomplicated song and the lyrics are not too complex, but for some reason, Clay seemed to have trouble getting it right. Maybe he was concentrating on his dancing!
I hope you enjoy the following video of Clay performing When You say You Love Me!
Thank you for the pictures and the video. The pictures and the video are great. I like the song. Thank you CANN.
I love this song and Clay does a magnificent performance! He sings effortlessly! He has a great connection with his audience, and they love him in return! Thank you, CANN for sharing!
I believe this was the 2nd or 3rd tour that Clay did across the country. He was at our State Fair that year. Ethel joined him on stage and danced along with the others. Oh, for the ‘good old days’ when we could count on seeing Clay on tour every summer!
