Lyrics

I want to write you a song One as beautiful as you are sweet With just a hint of pain For the feeling that I get when you are gone I want to write you a song I wanna lend you my coat One that's as soft as your cheek So when the world is cold You will have a hiding place you can go I wanna lend you my coat Ooh Everything I need, I get from you Ooh And giving back is all I wanna do I wanna build you a boat One as strong as you are free So any time you think That your heart is gonna sink, you know it won't I wanna build you a boat Ooh Everything I need, I get from you Ooh And giving back is all I wanna do Ooh Ooh Everything I need, I get from you Ooh Giving back is all I wanna do Ooh I wanna write you a song One to make your heart remember me So anytime I'm gone You can listen to my voice and sing along I wanna write you a song I wanna write you a song
