see him back again If I were a tender poet maybe I could speak All those lines and perfect phrases just beyond my reach CHORUS: And I'd like to say what's in my heart But I don't have the nerve And I'd tell you that I love you But I just can't find the words Maybe I could paint a picture, and let the colors show All I've been keeping to myself yet want the world to know Or maybe I could write a letter and keep it short and sweet No greeting card type sentiment, just what you mean to me (repeat chorus)
