What You Are

Listen, baby by the time you get this letter

I'll be gone

But I left something for you on the pillow

Put this tape in, press play

I love you

It's four in the morning and I'm sitting here at night

I'm writing you this song to say what's on my mind

I'm leaving in an hour and you won't be up in time to say goodbye (whoa)

I'm putting this on tape (baby you're wonderful)

I really mean it babe (more than you will ever know)

I wish that I could stay (but I gotta go)

I'll be back but in the meantime

Keep in mind that

You are

Is something too big for words

And it's my pleasure to love you baby for better or worse

Cause what you are

A beautiful mother to your kids

Sometimes it slips my mind so in case I forget

Girl you are better than (anything)

I ever had

You are the perfect love

Never give you up

(Because you are) my heart and soul my breath

Take it all until there's nothing left

Cause baby you are

Now no man has ever loved his woman

More than I love you, girl you know it's true

And no man can ever say he does his woman better than I do you

Cause that ain't true (here's what I do)

Send you fresh-cut roses every day of the week

Take you shopping whenever

More importantly

Wrap my loving arms around you

To reassure everything I felt that first night

I feel it and more
