Heaven Give Me Words

Take these words they come out wrong

They won't express this old emotional thing

If you could see inside my mind

You'd know the love and feel this passionate thing

You stepped into my locked out world

I felt your touch on my shoulder

You turned my mind right over

Like a child before it learns to speak

I turn to stone, I turn to stone

Heaven give me words to tell you

How I am feeling

What I am needing

Heaven let this message reach you

This desperation

Will stop my heart from beating

I won't be giving in

I'll die if I don't tell you just how I feel

I'll make you truly understand

What kind of man could live with feelings

Of steel

I used to be so self contained

When I thought about love

A conversation heart to heart

I must confess this old emotional thing

Before you think that I'm a fool

There's a flame that burns here

Here's a feeling that's so rare

It's my nightmare when I go to speak

I turn to stone, I turn to stone

Heaven give me words to tell you

How I am feeling

What I am needing

Heaven let this message reach you

This desperation

Will stop my heart from beating

Heaven give me words

Heaven give pride

Heaven let this message reach you

You've seen a heart worn on my sleeve

I must express this old emotional thing

Please be a witness to my dreams

Or I'll wake up and say now

Can this be real?

Before you think that I'm a fool

There's a flame that burns here

Here's a feeling that's so rare

It's my nightmare when I go to speak

I turn to stone, I turn to stone

Heaven give me words to tell you

How I am feeling

What I am needing

Heaven let this message reach you

This desperation

Will stop my heart from beating

Heaven give me words to tell you

How I am feeling

What I am needing

Heaven let this message reach you

This desperation

Will stop my heart from beating

Heaven give me words

Heaven give pride

Heaven let this message reach you
