lyrics

I have a thousand things to say to you, and then a thousand more.
But you say goodnight not realizing and walk on out the door.
Oh babe if only you would stay the night – just a moment more!
I could start to tell you all the things I’ve never said before.

I got this dream inside my pocket, but I keep it from the world,
And you’re the first I’ve seen who knows about this oyster and its pearl.
And, though I’ve recognized myself in other men I met before,
It was only in their faults and even then I wasn’t sure.

I have collected all these memories, though I can’t say what they’re for.
If you added them to daydreams, you could open your own store.
But what I really mean to say is that I think often of you.
That’s why sitting here beside you is not the easiest thing to do.

You are so wonderful, so wonderful – even that, it wouldn’t do.
I have no words to express the things I feel looking at you.
It’s your kindness, your humanity – it’s what I’m starving for.
For you, it’s not a struggle, but for them, it’s like a war.

But what I really mean to say is that I think often of you.
That’s why sitting here beside you is not the easiest thing to do.
