Why can't I sing a song about love? Sing about something I know nothing of A kiss on the cheek, a touch of the hand My knees feeling weak, my heart feeling grand Oh why can't I sing a song about love? Perhaps I'm a dreamer who doesn't wake up I'm soaring through skies in a red paper cup And I'm falling through trees with pillows for leaves I might fall but I won't skin my knees And if I proclaim all the love that I've found Perhaps I am frightened it won't stick around And if I take courage and expose my heart There's nothing to keep us, keep us apart Oh why can't I sing? When our love's on the line Will my heart fall behind? Forever resign to watching you cry And rather in you than I That's why I can't sing Oh that's why I can't sing A song about love? A song about love? A song about love? Perhaps I'm a dreamer who doesn't wake up I'm soaring through skies in a red paper cup And I'm falling through trees with pillows for leaves I might fall but I won't skin my knees
