I must have tried a thousand times to sing a song for you.
The melody was not quite right; the words did not ring true.
Darling, should I sing off key, should I play out of tune,
Your eyes are kind, you smile for me. You say I'll get it soon.
All through my life I've been waiting to see
If someone like you was waiting for me.
All I may do and all I may dream
Pale at our being when you're holding me
And I'm holding you.
I spent another restless night at home here in my room
Praying for a ray of peace, my spirit grained with gloom.
How we seem to struggle with things we can't undo.
I grapple with forgive/forget; my heart cries out for you.
All of my life I've been waiting to see
If someone like you was waiting for me.
All I may dream and all I may do
Pale at our being when I'm holding you
And you're holding me.
I must have tried a thousand times to sing a song for you…
