A Thousand Perfect Words

Oh, a thousand perfect words could never set the fire alight

Send shivers like the night

Tell the story quite right

I'm not sure you'll remember

But I met you as a breeze

Brushed your cheeks with kisses

From a distant misty sea

And you may not recall it

But you answered as a stream

You trickled softly, carried off the sorrows I had seen

But a thousand perfect words could never set the fire alight

Send shivers like the night

Tell the story quite right

Well, I knew then if you'd let me

I could love you like a dream

A singing string of fairy lights

To frame each sight you see

And I don't know how it's sounding

But I mean this as a song

To say that I am smitten still

Even if I say it wrong

Because a thousand perfect words could never set the fire alight

Send shivers like the night

Tell the story quite right
