Once
in a while I sit and contemplate the things
That make my life so complete
When I try imagine exactly what you mean
It's hard to think what my life would be
Without you there so tell me everything would be ok
But I can't even come close to what I'm trying to say
(CHORUS)
If only simple words could say
What it is I feel for you today
And how I love you in every way
I be content to tell
How you satisfy my every need
And you never fail to remind me
That you'll never turn, you'll never leave
You'll stay with me today
And love me in a way
That only simple words can never say
(VERSE TWO)
So as I stumble over words inside my head
I can't seem to get them together
And try to piece together enough to make some sense
Out of everything that's leftover
But I soon begin to find that I don't even stand a chance
Of putting into words what you can tell me with a glance
So since everything else I've tried just seems to come out wrong
The only chance that I have left is to tell you with a song
