If you were a melody,
I'd sing you all the time
And if your hands were poetry,
I'd memorize every line
And if every look you gave me were
A different hue or shade of color,
I'd learn how to paint you.

You know I'd try,
You know I'd try,
You know I'd try,
You know I'd try...

And if you were words in a story,
You'd be in a book that's overdue,
That's somewhere hidden in my closet;
Looked a million times for you.
And if you were just one day,
You'd be the very first of May,
And I'd be sunlight in your skies.

Or at least I'd try...
You know I'd try,
You know I'd try,
You know I'd try...

What are the words, all the words that you're saying?
I wish I knew all the prayers that you're praying...
Everywhere you go I wish
That I could stand next to you.
What are the words, all the words that you're saying?
I wish I knew all the prayers that you're praying...
Everywhere you go I wish
That I could stand next to you.

Well I'd try...
Well I'd try...
You know I'd try,
Try,
You know I'd try,
You know I'd try...
