Lyrics
"the Words" aka "If Only" aka "Love Song"
Verse 1-
When we first met I was smitten
My tongue was tied in knots like an old gym shoe
Went over all the lines I'd written
Not one of them measured up to you
Chorus-
I... would write you love songs, and
I... would pen you verse, say
I... would sing you sonnets
If only I could find the words to say to you
Verse 2
Time has passed now our love seems dimmer
Good and bad times, yes we've had our share
Now somehow the fire is down to simmer
Need you to know how much I still care
Chorus
Bridge
I know right now, nothing looks easy
I know the future looks mighty dark
Together we can light that darkness
If we start with a little spark
Chorus out
