Can't Find The Words

The sun shines through my bedroom window

Like a long lost friend

And I can't describe how good it feels to

See him back again

If I were a tender poet

Maybe I could speak

All those lines and perfect phrases

Just beyond my reach

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

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
