Words
Just one of those times when I felt tired and I was searchin' for some sympathy
But there was no one around and I despaired of ever findin' someone who'd rescue me

Never a sound had escaped these lips
Whenever I spoke the words would always trip
I held my tongue I wouldn't even try
All tender phrases got left behind but

You went and brought them back to me
With a grace that came to you so naturally
All of my confusion cleared away
At the sound of the little sweet things you had to say
Inside my soul decried that

Those are the words those are the words I've been waitin' to hear
Those are the words that make music to my ears
Ringin' out through every town
Comin' round when I am down
Those are the words that say
I love you so my dear

At the end of the day when I've been beatin' down by all of life's vicissitudes
I've grown so tired but I still get excited just sittin' round here waitin' for you
And all the magic you can do

Thumbin' through a dictionary lookin' for a noun or verb to strike a chord with me
But the words I'm lookin' for is the kind of treasure one can't endeavor to locate singly

No it's only with you I found what I looked for
The communication that my heart's been chasin'
The way I feel is what I dreamed and more
It's the joy that fills me as I sit here waitin'

Then I hear the gate unlatch as you get back home
I run through the hallway to kiss you as you close the door
We sit down and relax I fall in your embrace
And we talk about the trials and the victories we had today
Then you smile and you whisper softly to me

Those are the words those are the words I've been waitin' to hear
Those are the words that make sweet music to my ears
Ringin' out through every town
Comin' round when I am down
Those are the words that say
I love you so my dear
