Let Me Sing For You |
One bright, sunny day I set on my way to look for a place on this Earth. |
My life was a song just 3 minutes long. |
And, that’s about all it was worth. |
I wandered around. |
Unlost and unfound, unnoticed and misunderstood. |
Each thing that I tried just lessened my pride. |
Guess I didn’t do very good. |
Then I saw you lookin' just like I felt. |
So, I walked up to you and I said. |
CHORUS: |
Let me sing for you. |
It’s not much to ask after all I’ve been through. |
Let me sing for you. |
At least there’s still one thing I know that I know how to do. |
I found you alone, no love of your own. |
I gave you a shiny new toy. |
I made you feel good as best as I could. |
And, I was your rainy-day boy. |
I held you so near. |
But, you held this fear. |
And, felt like you’d been there |
before. |
The spell that was cast was too good to last. |
Soon the toy wasn’t new any more. |
So, I asked for some time. |
And, you gave me a watch. |
If it’s that late already again… |
CHORUS2: |
Let me sing for you. |
It’s not much to ask after all we’ve been through. |
Let me sing for you. |
At least there’s still one thing I know that I know how to do. |
Now, you love to live, and I love to give. |
So, tell me what difference it makes. |
If back in our youth we’d both known the truth, we might have made different |
mistakes. |
You need a toy bear with soft, fuzzy hair to lay next to you while you sleep. |
And, I love you too much to lessen my touch. |
That’s one promise I couldn’t keep. |
And, I’m not man enough to make love to you while you hold me an arm’s length |
away. |
CHORUS2: (drop the last 5 words and blend into a repeat.) |
