The song I couldn't write today
Had lyrics that I couldn't say
And chords my hands just wouldn't play
But it would have been for you
You're my muse and inspiration
And that song it was a dedication
But something got lost in translation
It didn't make it through
With lyrics sweeter than your eyes
And chords like laughter, harmonized
A rhythm like the lullabies that mothers sing at night
I'm writing you the song I couldn't write
The melody has drifted past
It came and went away so fast
I called out to it, It just laughed
And it whistled right along
But years from now when it comes around
I'll wrestle it and I'll tie it down
And force it to reveal its sound
What a pretty little song
Right now, I think that's it out- the song that I've been hunting for
I'm back on the ground, my feet have been found; picking the the words off the floor
I'll call you up out of the blue
I'll say its me, and you'll say ‘who?'
And on the phone I'll sing to you
You'll hear the whole thing through
I'm singing you the song I couldn't write
