I wanted to write you a song
A song you could sing forever
And I wanted to rhyme
And to bend phrase and time
Into something clever
But you deserve something better
(CHORUS)
If I could make all the mountains
Spell your name
And all the old streetcars
Dance in the rain
And promise to hold you
For all of my days
I t wouldn't be enough
To show you my love
I wanted to write you a verse
Of all the things that I love in you
Of your beautiful smile
And the truth in your eyes
And the way you always knew
That you deserved something better
(CHORUS)
If I could make all the mountains
Spell your name
And all the old streetcars
Dance in the rain
And promise to hold you
For all my days
It wouldn't be enough
To show you my love
And when I'm ugly
I know you love me
And you all of me
And I wouldn't wish that on anyone
(CHORUS)
If I could make all the mountains
Spell your name
And all the old streetcars
Dance in the rain
And promise to hold you
For all my days
It wouldn't be enough
To show you my love
(Show you that I love ya)
Ohhhhh,ohhhhh,ohhhhh,ohhhh...
