Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When these hands won't strum and I can't find the chords
And my voice don't want to sing
When my feet say dance, but I can't find the floor
Will you just lie here with me?
[Verse 2]
Will your eyes catch mine, then linger too long?
Will you still let me bring you your tea?
When your mind starts to wander, can I come along?
Is there someplace that you'd rather be?
[Chorus]
I wrote you a song, almost afraid to sing it
How could it ever be beautiful enough?
I can't give you the ocean or the sky so blue
The wonders of the world, they don't compare to you
I did the only thing I know how to do
I wrote you a song
I wrote you a song
[Verse 3]
If I brought you flowers, in a couple of days
The petals would all fall away
To give you forever, for worse or for better
Something that won't ever fade
[Verse 4]
I wrote you a song
Now that it's done
It's simple what I want to say
This scribbled love letter
We wrote it together
I promise my heart's on the page
[Chorus]
I wrote you a song, almost afraid to sing it
How could it ever be beautiful enough?
I can't give you the ocean or the sky so blue
The wonders of the world, they don't compare to you
I did the only thing I know how to do
I wrote you a song
I wrote you a song
[Bridge]
I wrote you a song, now that's it's done
It's simple what I want to say
[Chorus]
I wrote you a song, almost afraid to sing it
How could it ever be beautiful enough?
I can't give you the ocean or the sky so blue
The wonders of the world, they don't compare to you
I did the only thing I know how to do
I wrote you a song
[Outro]
I wrote you a song
I wrote you a song
