Marvin Hamlisch Carole Bayer Sager - Fill In The Words Lyrics

I play a C
You get a C
That's simple
That's easy

But there was you
And there was me
Not so simple
Not easy

I'm never quite able to say what I feel
I know that sounds absurd
The only way you can hear me
Is to listen to my song without words

(melody)
That's what I'm saying right now
And I'm writing this love song just for you to fill in the words

You were everything good
I know you love me
I just couldn't make us work out
And all I could do was leave it to you to fill in the words
Fill in the words

If I had the words
I'd have a song
And maybe it would tell me where I belong
With you I had the words for free
It's just in loving you I was losing me

(melody)
Hoping you'll understand
That until I can find those words for myself will you fill in the words
Fill in the words

(melody)
Fill in the words

(melody)
If I had the words
I'd have a song
And maybe it would tell me where I belong
With you and me I wasn't sure
Was I less were you more?

(melody)
Hoping you'll give me some time
If that kid on the coat rack wants to come back
wants one more try
Where will you be?
Will you still fill in the words?
Will you fill in the words?
