A song for you

I’ve got a notebook and a restless mind,

A thousand words that I can’t quite find,

Em

I sit down with my guitar,

Trying to show you who you are to me.

I could say it straight, but it wouldn’t sound right,

The simple words just wouldn’t shine as bright,

So I’m writing you a melody,

Hoping you’ll hear what you mean to me.

I want you to feel every chord I play,

The way you light up my darkest days,

The way my heart beats a little off time,

Every time you smile, every time you’re mine.

So I’m writing a song to tell you I love you,

One that echoes what I’m too scared to say,

I’ll sing every note until it rings true,

Hoping you’ll hear my heart that way.

I’m weaving my words into lines for you,

So you know just how much I care,

A song that’s made for me and you,

’Cause “I love you” feels too bare.

I strum the strings, and I think of you,

Every note brings me closer to the truth,

I want to tell you in a way that’s real,

In a way that words alone can’t reveal.

You’ve always seen me in a different light,

And I know I fumble when I try to speak right,

But maybe a melody will do what I can’t,

Let you know you’re the one I’ve been dreaming of.

The way my heart leaps with your every touch,

The way you make me want to give so much,

If you listen closely, I hope you’ll find,

The love I have that words can’t define.

So I’m writing a song to tell you I love you,

One that echoes what I’m too scared to say,

I’ll sing every note until it rings true,

Hoping you’ll hear my heart that way.

I’m weaving my words into lines for you,

So you know just how much I care,

A song that’s made for me and you,

’Cause “I love you” feels too bare.

And maybe someday, when you hear this tune,

You’ll understand all I’ve felt for you,

I’ll let the music speak where words fall short,

And in every chord, know it’s you I adore.

So I’m writing a song to tell you I love you,

One that echoes what I’m too scared to say,

I’ll sing every note until it rings true,

Hoping you’ll hear my heart that way.

I’m weaving my words into lines for you,

So you know just how much I care,

A song that’s made for me and you,

’Cause “I love you” feels too bare.

So I’ll keep strumming until you hear,

The love I’ve held for all these years,

I’m writing a song, I hope that you know,

Every line, every rhyme, is my heart on show.
