Lyrics

[00:01.90] If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same
[00:09.64] Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
[00:18.52] Though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for you
[00:26.74] For this is something rare for me, this feeling is so new
[00:33.98] You see, I love the way you love me
[00:39.17] I love the way you smile at me
[00:42.47] I love the way we live this life we're in
[00:55.06] Long ago, I heard the song that lovers sing to me
[01:02.46] And through the days, with each new phrase, I hummed that melody
[01:09.47] And all along, I loved the song but I never learned it through
[01:16.14] Ah But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you
[01:23.53] You see, I love the way you love me
[01:28.43] I love the way you smile at me
[01:31.46] I love the way we live this life we're in
[01:39.35] I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you
[01:46.52] And when you say you believe in me
[01:49.72] There's so much magic I can do
[01:55.36] Now you see me, now you don't, watch me dive below
[02:02.30] Deep down in your love lake, where the sweet fish come and go
[02:09.97] And I might sink and I might drown but death don't mean a thing
[02:16.91] 'Cause life continues, right or wrong, when I play
[02:22.89] This birthday song I learned from you and you can't even sing
